Computer C.O.R.E. (Community OutReach and Education) helps low-income adults acquire the technological and life skills they need to pursue career aspirations.

Our vision is a world where all people have the skills and confidence to pursue their dreams, reach their full potential, and make meaningful contributions to their communities.

Description:
Most jobs now require some degree of proficiency in computer skills. A significant percentage of low-income adults do not have these skills that are prerequisites for gaining more meaningful employment, and Northern Virginia's businesses need more skilled workers. Computer C.O.R.E.'s training program addresses these needs by providing training in computer skills, personal development, and job search strategies. In addition, Computer C.O.R.E. gives free computers to its graduates so that they may continue learning and share computing access with their families.
