Program Description

The University of Illinois at Chicago's Neighborhoods Initiative, in partnership with Instituto del Progreso Latino, a community-based nonprofit organization, received funding for a one-year program to provide computer training to 570 low-income Latinos and African Americans living in Chicago's Pilsen (South Lawndale), Little Village (Lower West Side), South Deering, and Back-of-the-Yards (New City) communities. The proposed courses are Computers en Espanol (to introduce non-English speakers to computers) and Computers for Careers (to help participants learn how to use a computer to search for and apply for jobs).
