omputer skills are a neces-
sity in almost any work
environment, and JVS is
expanding outreach to people who
need to improve their computer skills
to find work or move up the ladder.
Hands-on training is provided
through the David B. Hermelin
ORT Resource Center, a division of
JVS, in two locations: at the Jewish
Community Center in West Bloomfield
and a new computer lab in JVS'
Southfield headquarters.
"Classes are open to anyone and
reasonably priced:' says Lisa Bahm,
supervisor of the JVS Hermelin ORT
Resource Center. "Many of our stu-
dents who are unemployed or under-
employed will qualify for scholarships
from our generous funding sources. If
you are seeking to improve your com-
puter skills, I encourage you to contact
us early and we will walk you through
the application and scholarship pro-
cess."
