In support of its mission, since July 2003, the New Haven, Connecticut non-profit organization has implemented technology programs for children and adults. A working knowledge of computers is the key to accessing advanced educational opportunities and higher-paying jobs. Since computers and the Internet have assumed such a central role in our schools, workplaces and homes, computer literacy has be
come perhaps the most important skill for adults and children alike. Through CfAL Technology & Computer Training Program, CfAL teaches adults how to use a computer to create resumes, search for jobs online (successfully), create budgets and learning how to maintain a computer system. Upon completing the program, adults are able to receive a free refurbished computer to continue building skills at home.
