British based SkillsTrain, Europe's largest provider of IT training, has helped over thirty South African school children take part in live internet training link-up to give them their first ever opportunity to experience IT technologies... more »
SkillsTrain's Project Africa is a charitable initiative that brings Live Internet Training direct from the UK into South African schools, providing the opportunity for disadvantaged children aged 11 and over to learn valuable computing skills by participating in interactive lessons. Valuable skills that will be with them for life.
"When I visited South Africa with my son's rugby team I was shocked at how little there is for children to do and how few opportunities they have to even go near a computer. SkillsTrain offered to change that. Using a white board and live internet link, we are able to project our software into their classroom so that they could be taught how they could present a recent project using Excel, PowerPoint and Word, programmes that are familiar to most British children."
