UFS students equip community with computer skills
2009-11-25

 
This semester students from the service learning module in the Department of Computer Science and Informatics at the University of the Free State (UFS) gave computer training to a group of persons from the community. Ms Bongi Ntulini from the Mangaung University of the Free State Community Partnership Programme (MUCPP) selected the group.

Two groups, of which most of the people are unemployed, each received two weeks of training on the South Campus. Mr Frank van der Lingen of the Motheo FET College was appointed as the lecturer for this module by the Department of Computer Sciences and Informatics. After the training a certificate ceremony was held at the MUCPP.

At this event were, from the left: Ms E.S. Martins who passed the course in Computer Literacy (MSWord) and Mr Frank van der Lingen.
