Technology Equipment
Our computer equipment is the heart and soul of Technology Bridge. Without computers none of the other sub-programs could exist such as Computer Training, and Public Computer Centers (PCC). For this reason it is very important that we create and maintain working relationships with sourcing partners that allow us to obtain end-of-life equipment like personal computers, printers, monitors, software via low-cost bulk purchasing or through donation.
Over 90% of the computers that we use for Technology Bridge has had previous owners, typically from corporate settings. By choosing this route we are able to recycle and refurbish thousands of computers and peripherals that were destined for landfills or scrap metal.
Over the years companies such as AT&T and GTECH Corporation and, organizations like the Alliance for Global Education and Leadership as well as Generation's Knowledge & Care Centers have all been instrumental in the success of our program.
