The Hub’s executive director Julianne Leersson says, “Diverse and underserved communities in the Twin Cities are years behind in the use of computer applications, current technology and some of the simple and basic uses of a computer that can help students, small business and community development organizations raise productivity and possibly raise their employee potential index. 2012 presents a challenge to train community members on basic computer systems. This includes entry-level computer use and information distribution for small businesses and community development agencies.
