Time Warner Cable has announced that it has partnered with the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) to expand broadband Internet technology training to underserved Latino communities throughout the United States.
Time Warner Cable will provide three-year $200,000 grant and also will support technology centers that provide training, technology and support services in Latino communities served by the company.
The centers will receive technology benefits such as a broad array of technology equipment including desktop computers, laser printers, high speed internet access, LCD projectors and technology.
Time Warner Cable has selected centers that are located in San Antonio, Texas; Kansas City, Missouri (existing); Waukesha, Wisconsin (existing); Charlotte, North Carolina, and Cincinnati, Ohio.
These centers were selected by a National grant competition based on each site’s competitive progress, its level of need to better serve the local community and its innovative application of technology. The five centers will become a part of LULAC’s Empower Hispanic America with Technology Network — that currently provides broadband access free of charge to 100,000 visitors annually.
LULAC National President Rosa Rosales said “We are delighted with the tremendous support and partnership developed with Time Warner Cable to bring the latest technologies to the Hispanic community. Studies have show time and time again that those with access to technology resources fare better in life than those that do not. With this funding, we will be able to provide to those who are in most need of these services.”
Fernando Laguarda, Vice President External Affairs & Policy Counselor at Time Warner Cable said “This partnership deepens our relationship with the communities we serve by bringing them the essential benefits of technology while fulfilling Time Warner Cable’s commitment to engage young people to participate in our program to Connect A Million Minds, designed to inspire students to pursue learning opportunities and careers in science, technology, engineering and math fields.”
