Our most recent seminar on November 22 was hosted by Welcome!
Coffee and Tech! is a brand of informal training sessions and seminars devoted to improving information technology skills. The central theme to every personal session or small group seminar is to take the anxiety and fear out of learning ever changing software and Internet application skills at home or work.
Small group seminars
can be hosted nearly anywhere that has high speed or wireless Internet access. With the prerequisite tools, a Coffee & Tech! technology lesson is perfect for coffee shops, computer labs, or office parks. As more wireless Internet access points become available throughout our city, the closer you'll be to improving your information technology skills and knowledge.
The need to become and stay computer literate is necessary for success at work and home. The Internet, as a tool for business and personal productivity, makes
using computer and web applications that create and manage information as important as ever. Staying updated and upgraded is a necessity today.
So, where do you find the time to learn software and applications that seem to change every year? With a Coffee & Tech! personal session or group seminar, the answer is, "When your schedule permits, at a location convenient and comfortable to you." You don't need a laptop to get a great training session, but having one provides flexibility in your choice of learning locations. Our Tech Enthusiast are equip to provide you with a learning experience one computer user at a time, one cup at a time!
Bridging the Divide
Each Coffee and Tech! seminar or one-on-one session is unique. Individual clients and small groups learn new ways to use their technology tools and improve personal productivity at home or work. Topics cover a wide range of tips and information that may be previously unknown to users. Or, a series of seminars or personal sessions can cover a subject in more detail, such as learning how to create and manage a web site, or using multiple applications to achieve a specific task. Even experienced computer and Internet users can learn something that improves their skill set.
Coffee and Tech! provides an opportunity to learn shortcuts and use tools most computer users never learn through traditional computer classes. The Internet has given us a powerful vehicle to improve computer literacy here in Detroit. The changes in browser technology, search, and free online applications have been phenomenal in recent years and continue to expand our ability to share and collaborate.
Coffee and Tech! provides an opportunity for cafe and coffee shop owners, community organizations, churches, and training providers to sponsor a seminar with little or no fuss. We anticipate seminars being held in Campus Martius during the summer, conference rooms during lunch, or a computer lab at church. Anywhere there is an Internet connection, a computer, and anyone wishing to use their technology tools better, a Coffee and Tech! seminar or personal session is ready to 'bridge your divide.'
