We support people with unwanted tech; whether through IT repairs, support, donations or training 💻 Meet Leo, a student who comes to us for work experience once a fortnight. Leo was introduced to us through a partnered charity, Gecko Community. The aim of the partnership is to support neurodiverse young adults with training and soft skills development which will help them thrive. It's been about 9 months since Leo started his studies with us, and we can't believe how fast the time has gone and how far his development has come in that time. We're grateful to be a part of his journey as helping individuals like him is one of the best parts of the work we do. In the picture below you can see Leo with a laptop workstation. As part of his training with us, Leo helps our technicians diagnose computer issues, fix them, and get the machine back up and running again. Not only does this improve his technical skills, but it helps our tech team to refurbish more devices at a quicker rate - win-win! There are so many people out there who lack technical skills but make up for it in enthusiasm for the field. We love giving these people the opportunity to flourish. Technical skills can be taught, but passion and work ethic are much harder to instil in someone. Do you think more could be done by businesses to support individuals like Leo? #ProfessionalDevelopment #NeurodivergenceInTheWorkplace #AlternativeEducation

“Most of the time we have school computers, but they don’t let us bring them home.” - Quevon, Compudopt program participant. As high school seniors graduate, they prepare to enter the workforce or continue their education in college. But many face a daunting barrier: the lack of a personal computer. Without this essential tool, they are at a distinct disadvantage, whether it's for job applications, furthering their education, or enhancing their skills. From now until June 7, Compudopt is raising dollars for #Gifts4Grads. By donating to our cause, you can provide a graduating senior with a laptop, ensuring they have the necessary resources to thrive beyond high school. Join us in making a tangible difference. Let's equip our future workforce and scholars with the tools they need to excel! 💻 🎓 To donate, visit: https://lnkd.in/gcTVnG5D #Gifts4Grads #EmpowerGraduates #SupportEducation #DigitalDivide

This holiday season, we’re reflecting on 🎁 the gift of access 🎁 because at reWerk, we believe that talent is equally distributed, but opportunities often are not. And access to the right tools can be the key that unlocks potential. Thanks to the generosity of our corporate partners and donors, we’ve been able to deliver thousands of laptops, monitors, high-quality tech equipment, and furniture to students, community organizations, and nonprofits working tirelessly to close the opportunity gap. These donations help empower individuals to pursue education, explore creativity, and build a better future. For some, a donated laptop isn’t just a device—it’s a classroom, a job application portal, or a gateway to a world of possibility. And that’s a gift that keeps giving. 🫶 As we celebrate the season of giving, we invite you to join us in creating a world where no one misses out on opportunities due to a lack of resources. Here’s how you can help: 1️⃣ Donate your excess equipment or make a financial contribution. 2️⃣ Partner with us to bring resources to communities in need. 3️⃣ Share this post to spread the word about the power of access. Let’s continue to turn unused tech into the gift of access and opportunity. Together, we’re making equity not just a goal, but a reality. ✨ #GiftOfAccess #ClosingTheDigitalDivide #reWerkImpact #TechForGood #EquityInAction

We are overjoyed to see that the children of Thundersley Primary School are enjoying their new IT equipment! Initially, pupils had to share their computers as the school didn’t have enough for a full class. Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to provide over 100 laptops to their IT suite. Thundersley’s students can now be online together, meaning that more can be accomplished in their lessons. The Primary School’s Deputy Headteacher, Steve Mackay, told us that in addition to their PCs, the children’s new touch-screen laptops offer all the resources needed to support their lessons compared to their old Chromebook’s. To help us continue to improve children’s education, consider donating your used devices to Every Child Online through our website: https://lnkd.in/gXGH8nj Together, we close the digital divide. #everychildonline #itfullcircle #passiton #DigitalPoverty #DigitalInclusion #SocialValue #SocialImpact #EqualOpportunities #EducationEquality #InternetForAll #DigitalAccess #DigitalLiteracy #ClosingTheGap #digitaldivide #digitalisolation #sustainability #ESG #itad #environment #laptops #PCs #schools #charities #ewaste #recycleit #circulareconomy #learning #education #children #tech4good #Repurpose #Education #Reuse #Recycle Our supporting partners: Essex Ford, Allen Motor Group, #EssexFord #EssexFordTransitCentre #AllenFord Kennedys law, Sunrise Technologies Ltd, Essex Community Foundation.

This webinar should help both IT Asset Managers at enterprises and organizations as well as ITADs trying to build a more successful and sustainable computer donation program. Dave Berka, who leads the Techquity program at the United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha Counties, will join me and share examples of how all stakeholders benefit when they work together to bridge the digital divide. Hope to see you there.
Mark your calendars! Join us for the next IAITAM Wednesday Webinar on August 7 at 11 am EST! 📅 Hear from Cascade's CEO Neil Peters-Michaud and David Berka, Manager for United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County's Techquity Program, as they discuss the #DigitalDivide and the crucial role IT Asset Managers play in bridging it. Donating used computers involves more than just handing them over; it requires data sanitization, ensuring devices are operational, and collaborating with programs that provide support to those in need. Check out the IAITAM site for more information and to register for the webinar! https://ow.ly/zvWh50SQ7IZ #ITAssetManagers #Techquity

Imagine your life without a computer... We recently hosted an event at our store location on Seven Mile to gift laptops to members of the community who don't currently have proper access to high quality tech, but are in serious need of it. Many of the recipients were kids in the early stages of their educational journey. Not having access to a laptop or computer at home puts them several steps behind kids that do, and that just doesn't sit right with us. If that doesn't sit right with you either, head to the link human-i-t.org to donate through our website to give young people, on the wrong side of the digital divide, some of the same opportunities their peers have. #DigitalEquity #DigitalLiteracy #DigitalInclusion #DigitalDivide #InclusiveTech
