WorkVentures Conducts Computer Maintenance Training

WorkVentures in association with the AMP Foundation and Microsoft, sent the Divisional Manager of Sydney ITeC Repair Centre, Ralph Gatt, to Hope Vale to teach a group of young people how to repair and build computers. Ralph returned in April, 2008 to complete the course and the participants who could successfully build and repair the computer were rewarded with a computer to keep for their own use.

With the aim of the project is to assist the community along the road of self reliance, WorkVentures donated 15 refurbished computers to the Council for the new Indigenous Knowledge Centre and left a supply of spare parts for ongoing maintenance. Microsoft through the Unlimited Potential program supplied the Council with software licences for the machines.
