5th Street academy offers free computer lessons
“We’re passionate about helping people to succeed and we feel becoming computer literate is one of the ways it can be done,” says Carelse.
Local business Pro Business Academy will offer free computer lessons to members of the Springs community.
“We want to empower people with the right skills and knowledge to become computer literate.
“In this technological age, it is a necessary skill to have,” says Sadiqa Carelse, one of the instructors and owners of the business.
The company feels it is important to be a part of the community and to give back in any way they can.
The lesson will cater to those who have no knowledge on how to use a computer and will teach them the basics, such as how to switch on a computer, how to create documents and how to surf the internet.
