WebCTel
launches resource acquisition initiative to support Community Technology
Centers (CTCs).
WebCTel
continues its urban commitment through the establishment of a web
based volunteer and donor matching service (volunteer alliance)
on WebCTel.com. WebCTel President & CEO, John Cator, announced
at a recent meeting attended by representatives of several CTCs,
"WebCTel is in a unique position as a technology company. We
talk with a variety of corporations and CTCs on a daily basis and
we use these opportunities to identify resources that will help
these CTCs deliver the best training possible so that WebCTel can
continue our commitment and goal of hiring a large number of WebCTel
staff from many of these urban CTCs. Our volunteer alliance is an
outgrowth of that commitment."
The
volunteer alliance enables individuals wishing to volunteer or companies
wishing to volunteer resources, donate money and/or equipment, register
their information online. Once the information is submitted, the
individual volunteer will receive a list of CTCs that are in need
of their skills. The volunteer can then choose which centers they
would like to have their information. Corporate volunteer information
will automatically go to all CTCs in the database. Karen Chandler,
Acting Director of CTCNet, commented, "WebCTel's initiative
stands out among for-profit organizations. They are providing a
resource alternative for organizations like ours. Identifying volunteers
is critical to the success and viability of many CTCs and WebCTel
is helping to bridge the gap".
