Examination of an attempt to train high school dropouts in computer literacy to fill entry level positions in private industry and provide motivation to take full advantage of this new technology
Get PDFTechnological change has impacted almost all of society, particularly the economic and educational sectors.

The way this was accomplished was to study the impact the information revolution is having on society. Once this survey was completed, an instrument was designed to motivate people to become better educated in order to improve their standing in a technology-oriented economy. This was done in conjunction with a core group of consultants who represent all phases\u27 of the computer industry.

Then, it goes on to elaborate upon the development of the computer literacy program and its significance for the disadvantaged participants that it served
