But now, we are managing to do it. Tour de Communication is now one of the most active computer assistance nonprofits in Japan, providing a Japanese model of this activity. Computer Classes Tour de Communication offers 13 computer courses at their office. The courses range from very beginner to fairly advanced such as those for Web page building. Each course has 5 to 8 students.
Instructors are professionals who want to share their expertise with community people.
Instructors in colleges and engineers at computer companies join the team. Some teach at commercially operated computer classes and come to Tour de Communication for extra work. They are nonimally paid and frequently volunteer to help students during free lab time. The emphasis of their programs is on immigrants. They set up foreign language-based computer systems.
