Gates Center for Technology Access - Seattle, WA
Public Access Computing Trainers

The Gates Center for Technology Access (GCTA), a Seattle-based non-profit
organization, is searching for highly motivated individuals to assist in the
implementation of a nation-wide grant program.  These positions require
traveling to a variety of states, installing computers in libraries that
receive grants from the Gates Learning Foundation (GLF) and training
librarians on sustaining public access computing systems.  A typical
schedule will have trainers on the road for two of three weeks and based in
the Seattle office the third week.  While this position requires a
significant amount of travel, successful candidates must reside in Seattle.

We offer extensive training and expect new trainers be prepared to learn and
study on their own, as well as with experienced trainers.  We seek
individuals who are excited about working with cutting-edge technology and
committed to teaching and working with librarians in low-income communities.

Duties of Trainers include:  installing labs and standalone machines running
Windows NT in public libraries, teaching instructional sessions on software,
networking, and troubleshooting to grant recipients, providing technical
field support for libraries, and assisting the staff of the Gates Learning
Foundation and the Gates Center for Technology Access in local and statewide
meetings and workshops for public librarians.

Trainers should have some background in teaching or user education.  MLIS is
preferred.  Our main focus is training librarians to better use their
technology, beginning with how to use a mouse and continuing through making
major adjustments to a Windows NT network.

The starting salary is $36,000 annually, with an excellent benefits package,
including medical coverage and a generous 401k program.  More information
