What are the key benefits of CFS?
• Placing more computers into classrooms means that Canadian students get more hands-on opportunities to learn about computers and new technology, to develop new skills, and to learn how to make better use of the Internet. • CFS completely refurbishes donated equipment by replacing parts, wiping the hard drives, installing operating systems and basic software, and thoroughly cleaning and repackaging each unit for distribution to schools, libraries and not-for-profit learning organizations anywhere in Canada. • CFS plays an important role in meeting the objectives of the government’s Youth Employment Strategy by employing in its network of computer repair centres technical program graduates, co-op students, youth interns, students, youths at risk, contract technicians, labourers, and people with physical and/or mental disabilities, as well as using the services of hundreds of volunteers. • CFS also provides environmental benefits by ensuring that computer systems are reused and recycled
