If your looking to learn about computers, the new Calhoun County Technology
Opportunity Center (TOC) is your answer.
The course is free.
You can enroll now by phone for Basic and Intermediate computer training in the
TOC at Calhoun Middle/High School.
Registration is being taken for April classes.
You can learn Microsoft Office Word, Excel, Power Point and internet.
The lab has been upgraded through the Technology Opportunity Center (TOC)
Expansion Project, proposed by The EdVenture Group.
It is aligned with The Appalachian Regional Commission's mission to be an
advocate for and partner with the people of Appalachia to create opportunities for
self-sustaining economic development and improved quality of life.
The grant received through the Appalachian Regional Commission will provide
labs to students and teachers during the day for research, career exploration,
computer lab sessions that support their coursework, teacher's professional
development and in-service training.
In the evenings, community members and businesses use the TOCs for hands-on
training. These courses are offered to the public free of charge and include 15 or
30 hours of hands-on instruction on the Windows environment, the Microsoft
Office suite, the Internet.
The TOC Expansion project is planned for a one-year period. During this time, The
EdVenture Group will work closely with Calhoun Schools.
The TOC Expansion project is being implemented in 10 West Virginia counties:
Braxton, Calhoun, Gilmer, Lincoln, Logan, McDowell, Roane, Summers, Webster
and Wyoming.
