THE Cagayan de Oro City Government is set to ink an agreement with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) for the turnover of the “thin client equipment” to the City Library.

The Technology for Education to gain Employment, train Entrepreneurs towards Economic Development or the (Tech4ED), is a DICT project that seeks to establish community e-Centers in different public libraries across the country.

According to DICT, recipients of the Tech4ED platform will receive the equipment package, which consisted of a server, desktop computers, among others. The thin-client equipment package is made available only to public libraries.

The center will serve as a knowledge area promoting digital literacy, business hubs and delivery channels of government services targeting out-of-school youth and adults, senior citizens, overseas Filipino workers and relatives, persons with disabilities, teachers, students, women, indigenous people and the general public.

The Tech4ED platform will be installed at the City Library which will undergo renovation this year.
