The Acer Service eLearning Repair Program offers students at LBHS the opportunity to gain practical skills through an 8-hour self-paced online course that covers basic hardware repairs for Acer devices. Upon completion, students earn certification as 'Techsperts,' allowing them to work at the Technology Help Desk. This experience not only enhances their technical abilities but also fosters interest in college and career paths.
What is the future outlook for the Technology Help Desk program?
Looking ahead, the Technology Help Desk program at LBHS aims to expand its reach and involve more students. With the district's enrollment projected to grow from 13,000 to 16,000 by 2030, the demand for technical support will increase. The program has already proven beneficial for students, helping them develop skills and stay engaged in their education, and there are plans to continue enhancing this initiative.
