If you’re interested in a chance to get a free computer, enroll for the Computers for Life program at the YWCA Thompson.

The program is offered through Steps to Success in partnership with Altered Minds Inc. from Winnipeg, who will provide the computers as well as the curriculum.

Cat Cogle, program coordinator with Steps to Success, shares what participants can expect in Level One of the course.

“It’s learning how to set up a computer, connect it to the internet, how to use a keyboard and mouse, create and organize documents and folders, find online information, and recognize scams. You’ll learn how to use language translation programs, use maps to plan a trip and send and receive emails.”

Level Two provides training on skills such as online shopping and banking, and how to protect from online scams.  

The program is open to those 18 and up.   

Learn more about Computers for Life and how to register this afternoon at 12:40 and 5:10 on Thompson Today.
