TFA: TECHNOLOGY FOR ALL? - (TFA), a national non-profit organization that
brings technology to low-income communities, will use the CentraOne Web collaboration
platform to provide administrators in 300 community-based organizations across the
United States with technology training to help them build local workforce-development
programs. Using the Centra eMeeting application from Centra Software Inc. of
Lexington, TFA will connect 15 to 20 organization administrators in weekly, real-time,
virtual classroom sessions designed to teach them how to deliver and manage
technology-training programs in their communities. The virtual classroom platform
enables voice and data communication, application sharing, and other features that
allow far-flung groups to learn and collaborate in real time via the Internet.

TFA president William S. Reed says the project will further his organization's mission
to bridge the digital divide by allowing TFA to scale resources, reach low-income
populations that don't have the same level of access to job training, educational, or
economic opportunities that other communities have. For more information, visit:
