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.

Here's a new tech byte from Instructor Richie: QR codes are a neat way to share digital information through a physical medium. By precisely laying out a grid of black and white squares, a QR code can be scanned by a smartphone camera and share a link to a website. Just be cautious when scanning random QR codes out in the world. While many businesses use them to link to their websites, apps, or menus, people can also use them to link to sources of malware. Like clicking on any website link, it’s important to trust the source of a QR code before scanning it.

We are so grateful to receive new computer desks, chairs, keyboards, mice, a table for our waiting room, and more.

Our Executive Director, Tesha Tramontano-Kelly, had the pleasure of attending the
United Way's Building a Future-Ready Workforce: An AI Discussion at Choate Rosemary Hall last week.

As part of our mission to support digital inclusion, we strive not only to be part of the discussion when it comes to workforce development in a rapidly changing technological landscape, but also to provide a voice for those who lack access to reliable devices and connections.
