How will Houston’s low-income communities benefit from TFA-Wireless?
Technology For All has a number of outreach programs to utilize the benefits of home Internet access. Through a program called “Learn and Earn,” students can earn a refurbished desktop or laptop computer by completing a course and providing community service. Another example is “TFA-JobTech,” funded partially by the U.S. Commerce Department’s Technology Opportunity Program. Livable-wage jobs are being created in the neighborhood through TFA-JobTech, which provides document conversion and knowledge management services for business and industry. Some employees of TFA-JobTech will be able to work in their homes doing document coding and tasks using wireless Internet services provided by TFA-Wireless.
