Using smart phone apps

You might have heard of ‘apps’ but what exactly are they? Applications, or apps for short, are a type of program that you can download to your tablet or smartphone. From games and puzzles to shopping and banking, there are a variety of apps available on different devices.

Note that DJ takes a lunch break during the day in case you don't see him upon arrival.

Whether you’re an individual wanting to learn how to use any computer tools or software, or a business owner who wants to ‘skill up’ your staff, we can help! Contact us to arrange training for one employee or  your entire staff at no cost!

For the time being, this service is available on a drop-in basis. If we experience high demand, we may ask for pre-scheduled appointments. To ensure you can meet with DJ at a specific time during his drop-in sessions, you may contact him directly to schedule priority time at Doran.Condon@millersville.edu.

This grant will end in February, 2024. Don't wait too long to take advantage of this great opportunity!
