Who are we?
Who are we?
The Redwood County Broadband Steering Committee was made up of various organizations in Redwood County including Redwood Area Development Corporation, Redwood Area School District, Red Rock Central Schools, Wabasso Public Schools, Redwood County Technology, Redwood Area Hospital and more. The Steering Committee’s role was to provide leadership in creating and supporting community projects related to broadband technology integration and usage. The 2-year grant supporting this project, was funded by the Blandin Foundation. We successfully completed our third round of technology training classes and are now ready to offer you Technology Series IV training classes. We are offering you classes on Wednesdays from August 30 through December 13, 2017.
Pre-registration is required by the Monday prior to each class and space is limited to 12 attendees per class. Register today for classes!

“A very grateful thank you for the sessions I attended on computer and cell phone training. It was my “first step” in overcoming my fear of the new & updated technology in our world. And, I now know where to turn with questions and assistance. I thank you so much for this wonderful training. I have told so many of this incredible opportunity. I wish I could have attended to thank those people who granted the funds to this community and express a thank you to the instructors for their skills and talents.” ——Judy Smith—–
