Arthur Meadows Vista Program Manager

In reference to the projects I am working on;
I am currently working in the refurbishing program, this involves refurbishing Pentium 4 computer we get from G.S.A. and other sources, we then have bi weekly classes on the fundamentals of computer operations which is a 2 hour class given on Saturday’s. At the end of the class we give the participants a fully functional computer, mouse, keyboard, and flat screen monitor. I have a word class that is taught on Wednesday’s of every week, I have to teach this class because the individual that was doing it found employment. Wildtech is also gearing up for a visit from the Microsoft foundation to be held here on December 1st or 2nd. So, there is need for a presentation to be given in reference to what we do here. At this moment I am getting together the necessary information to give a PowerPoint presentation on what we do. My responsibilities do vary; one other thing I have accomplished is to set up a chapter of Wilderness Technology Alliance here at CCNV, where we have a voting board of which I was voted the President. We have by laws and the whole nine yards. My idea is to train as many people from the shelter as possible in the Microsoft Office programs to help them reenter society as productive individuals. I figure, since this is the capital there should be a lot of jobs individuals living here can qualify for.
