Foundational Tech
Does technology sometimes feel like a locked door without a key? You aren’t alone. For many of us, the digital world can feel frustrating, intimidating, or just plain exhausting. But at CCTV, we believe no one should be left behind.
Our Foundational Technology program is designed specifically for those of us who would rather be doing anything else but don't want to miss out on staying connected. We’re turning "tech stress" into community strength. Our classes are free to all and available online certain Mondays 1 to 2pm. See schedule to the below.
