Parramatta
City Council is offering local Not-For-Profit Organisations an opportunity to
receive re-furbished personal computers (PCs) from WorkVentures, under the
WorkVentures’ Connect IT program. Connect IT offers quality refurbished PCs to
people on Centrelink benefits or who are low income earners, schools and
non-profit organisations. Corporations like The Westpac Group and government departments
donate superseded PCs, which are refurbished and loaded with Microsoft Windows
XP Professional and Microsoft Office 2007. For further information on
WorkVentures’ Connect IT program, call 1800 112 205 or visit www.workventures.com.au/connectit.
This
is a one-off project that will allow Parramatta City Council to address IT
resource needs and capacity gaps amongst local not-for-profit organisations in
a sustainable, equitable and proactive manner.
