Computer Lab Serves Record Number of One-Stop Learners

 

Last July, thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor/Education and Training Administration, Literacy Volunteers of Roanoke Valley partnered with the Virginia Workforce Center’s One-Stop, upgraded its computer lab, and began to provide a series of self-guided computer courses available to One-Stop clients. The interactive, instructional software used in our lab teaches computer fundamentals, word processing, spreadsheets, internet and e-mail.  Since July 2004, 103 One-Stop clients have logged more than 1,500 hours in our lab.  The series of self-guided courses used in this program meets the needs of adult learners and job seekers who need scheduling flexibility and the ability to learn at their own pace. Computer literacy is an important part of workforce development, and we at Literacy Volunteers of Roanoke Valley are proud of the new skills attained by the individuals who have taken advantage of this service.
