The Day Worker Center of Mountain View is a non-profit that helps bring employers and day laborers together. We are looking for Spanish-speaking, computer-savvy individuals to give weekly small computer classes in the afternoons. Topics covered are flexible, but some examples would be how to use Word, Excel, Skype, an internet browser, and Craigslist. Workers vary in their knowledge of computers, so what you teach would vary from class to class. Through these classes we hope to develop workers’ computer skills, increase their knowledge of internet resources available, and show them how to do an internet job search.
Classes are in Spanish. We have several laptop computers for classes.
