Invitation to opening of Kaiti Community Technology Centre

We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to be part of our forthcoming Community Technology Centre (CTC) launch.

Computers in Homes (CIH) programmes have been successfully operating in the Gisborne community for over three years through the Gisborne District Council.

We have now delivered our programme to 650 Gisborne whanau. Our CIH committee has secured funding for a new programme, Stepping UP: ICT for a Better Future, from the 2020 Communications Trust and Microsoft. The programme aims to provide free ICT training for people seeking to up skill their digital literacy, but who do not have the opportunity or the confidence to embark on qualifications-based tertiary ICT courses.

Computers in Homes whanau and other adults seeking basic computer training will be our target group. To deliver this programme we have set up a Community Technology Centre (CTC), based at Kaiti School. The CTC is our computer training facility with a cluster of 10 Internet-connected computers, supported by trainers with the experience necessary to deliver a range of ICT up skilling programmes.

Our Gisborne CTC launch is on Tuesday 19th May, 10.30am at Kaiti School, Wainui Road, Gisborne Your support for this community based training project would be greatly appreciated. If you require further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
