Computer Literacy Program

The Computer Literacy Program for New Beginning is geared to assist the families with gaining basic computer knowledge and using it in their own homes. Computer literacy is more important now than it has ever before, so we offer this program to communities across the United States.  We will accomplish this goal by offering short evening courses on basic PC skills, business productivity software, Internet, and e-mail in which at least one member of the family must attend.  PCs are provided via donations from businesses and individuals or purchased from surplus agencies and refurbished. Upon completion of the training, the family will get to keep the computer that they used in the training course.  This is an incentive for the family to complete the course and be able to apply their newly acquired skills immediately. Additionally, New Beginning recognizes that some members of the community may wish to complete courses towards a GED. With the assistance of area community colleges, the Computer Literacy Program will provide those that did not finish high school with the opportunity to take GED classes via the Internet.
