L.U.E. Corp Programs
One of the current programs that L.U.E. Corp is offering to the public is computer classes.
A grant proposal is pending to initiate the Youth Tech Initiative Program (Y-TIP) which is a FREE program that will enhance the computer skills of youth between the ages of 13-18 in grades 7-12. The goal of Y-TIP is to enable young low-income youth to achieve academic success that leads to an increase in educational attainment, and future employability, and offers the fundamentals of pursuing a career in Information Technology.
At a time when the economy is at its lowest, it is important to equip our youth & adults with educational resources that will prepare them for what is now an employer's job market. L.U.E. Corp's way of ensuring that our community members are capable of securing employment and increasing educational and professional development is by bridging the digital divide, increasing entry-level work experience, providing supplemental educational resources for youth in school and out of school, and providing a hands-on learning environment.
