Displaced workers and job seekers are being offered a free Computer for Beginners course at Northern Essex Community College on the Lawrence campus beginning this fall.

The course will run Mondays from Sept. 12 through Dec. 19, 2011 from 5:45 to 9:35 p.m. in Room L243 of the Dimitry Building which is located at 45 Lawrence Street.

While the course is free, there is a $66 fee for the course workbook. This computer course, which is valued at more than $500, has just 20 seats available. Unemployed workers interested in this course may register by calling Jill Palermo at 978-556-3721. This course is available on a first come first served basis for eligible participants.

Clients of the Valley Works Career Center are encouraged to enroll.
