Baton Rouge, La. - Having fun and learning about
computers can all happen at once, and the Southwest Center for Rural
Initiatives (SCRI) wrapped up its eight-week Spring Computer Training Program
for adults on Wednesday, May 11, 2015. This class was targeted for adults 55+
from the community of St. Landry Parish and collaboration with Experience Works
group on teaching topics that range from a basic Introduction to Computer,
Microsoft Office, to Internet use. This mission of
this program was to provide adults hands-on experience and education on
computer technologies to enhance their lives and enable them to share their
knowledge and wisdom. The computer training program helped participants build
their confidence when using computers in the library, at home, at work, or when
looking for a job. There were 10 students who took advantage of these
free classes and received certificates of completion
for participating in this program. The computer class was well received by
participants, and many are looking forward to the next computer session. This
is one of several programs the SCRI offers to improve the socioeconomic
well-being of citizens in rural communities within the a ten-parish region of
Southwest Louisiana, and we want to continue to provide community programs that
will address their scientific, technological, social, economic, and cultural
needs.
