Background:

Technology is the future. Studies show information technology (IT) is already outstripping other industries in economic growth. To ensure we all have a stake in this global phenomenon, Career Communications Group found it of paramount importance to promote IT opportunities that will help communities take a leading role in teaching our children about technology.

To address the gap in Internet usage and computer ownership between U.S. mainstream and families in underserved communities, Career Communications Group (CCG) created three IT awareness programs: Black Family Technology Awareness Week, La Familia Technology Week, and Native American Technology Journey. In addition, CCG founded The Foundation for Educational Development, which provides grants to organizations looking to promote technology awareness. Since their founding, all three technology awareness programs have gone beyond the borders of the United States into Brazil, South Africa and Canada.

If you are interested in finding out how your organization: community group, school or church, can get involved in one or more of our technology awareness programs contact us with your request. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter.
