Alcoa Foundation provides a New Technology Training Room to the residential district of San Gabriel.
Today the director of Alcoa in Alicante, Paulo Coimbra, and the president of the Residents Association of the district of San Gabriel, Francisco Hernáez Mazó will present the project of the New Technology Training Room for the residents of the district of San Gabriel de Alicante, which will be financed by Alcoa Foundation with USD $16,000 (EUR 18,180, approximately).
The new training room will be located at the offices of the Residents Association of San Gabriel and will be equipped with 8 computers, 2 printers, 2 scanners and 1 router, along with other necessary equipment. It will be used for basic training in the so-called new technologies for the residents and citizens of the district that want to discover, practice and learn how to use the computer and Internet. Additionally, it will contribute to enriching and consolidating the training work that the Residents Association of San Gabriel has carried out since its establishment 17 years ago.
Alcoa Foundation, at the instance of the Alcoa plant in Alicante, supports this project because it fits with one of the priority areas of action of the Foundation, which is contributing to improving the education and training of the people from the community in the area surrounding the work centers of Alcoa, where the workers and their families live, especially if these initiatives help people to get more involved in the new global society, facilitate access to the job market and stimulate the enterprising spirit and development of personal skills. A large number of the workers from the center live in the San Gabriel district, which is near the Alcoa plant.
With the economic support for this project, the Alcoa plant in Alicante, which manufactures rolled aluminum products - fine sheet, glossy products and lithoplate - reaffirms its commitment to the community in the surrounding area to which its employees and their families belong, which contributes to improving the social and educational status of its citizens.
The local and regional authorities from the area of education, teachers, workers and directors of Alcoa, among other guests, are to attend the ceremony for presentation of the project.
Alcoa Foundation, founded in 1952 in Pittsburgh (USA), is an organization that operates from its own financial resources and not from Alcoa's profits. The projects that the Foundation supports correspond to proposals from the employees of Alcoa or from organizations in the surrounding area that are involved in attending to the needs of the community to which the employees of the company and their families belong.
