COMPUTER CLASSES

Eliminate the Digital Divide Computer Classes

Next session in September, 2008 IS FULL

Waiting list for November, 2008 class - Call now

Ken-Rock has had the opportunity to provide FREE computer classes through the Eliminate the Digital Divide grant provided by the State of Illinois. 

These classes are designed for adults who have NO COMPUTER EXPERIENCE.  They will  receive very basic computer instruction to help eliminate the digital divide.  After this 20 hour course, students will be less afraid of computers and more willing to try it on their own or sign up for more formal computer training. 

Because of the high demand for these classes, students  are screened to determine their computer experience and their level of commitment.   For more information, contact Carrie at 398-8864.

PLEASE NOTE:  THESE CLASSES ARE FREE, HOWEVER WE WILL BE CHARGING A $50.00 COMMITMENT FEE,  THAT WILL  BE REFUNDED UPON COMPLETION OF THE CLASS.
