What we have in place
  • We currently have Zoom, Web Ex, a team of individuals seeking more training, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have Team mngr can say how these individuals wld use Excl in work, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,174 , allowing us to better serve currently incarcerated individuals in the ARC HART program.

Excel training will increase the tech know how and capacity among a team of 10 individuals. This team (known here at ARC as the HART team) are front line staff in prison in-reach programming. Increasing their tech know how will allow ARC to manage the prison in-reach programming more effectively. They'll be able to report to their supervisors, participate in grant reporting, and share information with ARC's Development department more effectively.
