Our People's
Computeracy Organization: Computeracy is a word derived from the combination of the words computer and literacy. The word "computeracy" means having the skills required to operate a computer - typically the skills required in a working environment. OurPCOrg.com is the twinkle of hope in my minds eye that pushes me forward in the belief that if we can dedicate the time and effort needed to generate an interest within our community, reveal the tenacious drive by making things happen with our personal efforts then ourpcorg.com may just be able to be the catalyst for a community wide effort in raising the bar, giving to our young and our citizens the extra edge needed to be first in line! In the long term, we hope to provide workshops that will focus on computer basics and specific software training as well as a location for hands on training for hardware repairs and a monitored environment for accessing the internet for job searches or research...Our PC Org hopes to give people in our rural area an opportunity that is not currently afforded to them, a local place and a chance to build the necessary skills needed rise up and become more competitive in the workforce or at school. Our world is ever evolving in technology...applying for and securing a good job (or good grades) has become fiercely competitive. Computeracy is absolutely required and for those of us who are miles away from facilities or who lack funds for higher education - technology, jobs and the chance for a successful home & family life only get further and further away. Our rural area needs an organization and facility to help our people rise up and move forward to be competitive for today's workforce & educational demands. Our PC Org is not only for those trying to build software or hardware computer skills, our goals include workshops focusing on how to search and apply for jobs on-line as well as how to create or update cover letters & resumes for uploading or for regular postal mail submissions. If we can show people how, if we can show them an alternate path, we can improve our quality of life as a whole, standing up out of poverty and creating higher standards of living that will hopefully only continue on with our generations to come. We endeavor to make our community a place that people want to be, happy and successful thriving in its simplicity, out in our rural location, affording our citizens the education and tools that are not typically available to us...living far away from large libraries, schools or computer labs. Hoping to change lives one educational experience at a time. Life can be good, if you just keep going. With All
Sincerity & Highest Hopes For Our Community Thank you Michael, my son, for inventing such a wonderfully descriptive name that describes our efforts completely!
