Description:
The Ethical Computer
Centre is a project of Burslem Ethical Trust (registered charity
1082990), a community education and development initiative.
The TECC project started
in 1999 to enable re-use of unwanted computer equipment, in order to
provide very affordable computer equipment, with a support facility,
for the community.
TECC helps to provide
computers to developing countries. See the Peppercorn IT website.
TECC has the
central aim of equipping those who need work, with knowledge and
practical skills in information technology (IT), administration and
other fields, so that they are of immediate use to prospective
employers.
We operate as a
Team. All areas of interest, aptitude and expertise are valued to
complement the Team.
We do not have the
resources to continuously supervise people, and so initiative,
self-motivation and reliability are essential.
