Press release from the Waukesha County Technical College - Feature: June 13, 2022 Learning in Retirement of Waukesha County (LIR) members and WCTC IT-Computer Support Specialist students joined forces this spring for a training experience that benefited both retirees and WCTC students by improving their technology and communication skills. Information Technology students in instructor Melissa Seamonson's IT Services Practicum course met with LIR members to provide customized, one-on-one support and help them learn more about how to navigate their laptops, smartphones, tablets and other devices. In total, eight LIR members, along with additional community members, signed up to participate. While the LIR members became more savvy in using their devices, the students were gaining valuable, practical experience by simulating what they will do on the job, Seamonson said, such as writing a ticket and troubleshooting.
