Who Provides the Training?

Students provide tech-training to people who need it so that they can feel empowered, independent and skilled. As a result, these newly-skilled individuals get better jobs and exhibit the self-confidence they need to thrive in today’s hi-tech world.

Tech-Talk does this by partnering students of all ages with: seniors, individuals who trying to get into the work world, and veterans who need computer skills.

This program helps students develop their communication and leadership skills while giving back to their community.

To Students Worldwide

We challenge you to teach 50 Tech-Talk Articles FREE for willing seniors, aspiring men and women who want better jobs, and re-engaging veterans … anyone in need of tech-training in your town. If you accept this challenge, all you need to do is send us a photo of you holding a sign saying “I accept the 50 Article Challenge”, and in return, we’ll send you your white Raising Leaders t-shirt along with access to materials to get you started.

Once you reach 50 sessions, we will come visit you, teach a few sessions with you, and give you different color Raising Leaders Tech-Training shirts. We will also give you a brand new Chromebook! Let’s make a difference together by teaching one person at a time! The challenge is for students of all ages.

F.A.Q.s

What counts as an “article”? One teaching session (30 minutes or longer, using at least one article in Tech-Talk) is equal to one tech-session.
If we use more than one article in a session, does that count for multiple sessions? An “article” for this challenge is a teaching session. It is not measured by the number of topics learned.

How Does It Work?

When a student joins the program, they start off with a white shirt. For every 10 sessions they hold, they get a new color shirt. So, once they have completed 10, they get an orange shirt; holding 20 sessions earns a green shirt; 30 sessions – a blue shirt; 40 sessions – a red shirt, and 50 sessions – a black shirt (much like a black belt in karate). Once they reach 50, they receive a Chromebook.
