Computer Literacy For Displaced Workers in Our Communities
By Rosalie McOmber


A few years ago I was a displaced worker with no computer skills.

This computer class, otherwise unattainable, has given me a chance to learn a new skill necessary today. With helpful, dedicated and knowledgeable instructors, I was able to achieve an understanding of computer components! Thanks can never be enough for a program that has positively changed my life! I will forever be grateful and encourage every mother wanting to master computer skills to participate in this program!

Wow! What a wonderful program!! I could benefit by this kind of community education, as I am currently displaced. I hope that more communities realize the needs and benefits this program has to offer in these tough times. This article has made a difference in awakening others by making us aware of what can and should be done to help those who are in need and want to improve their skills for employment opportunities. With programs like this one, individuals can contribute to their communities while providing for their families. Good job on passing on this great information in this article!!!
