Community Access to Technology

What is the CAT Program?

• CAT stand for “Community Access to Technology.”  The CAT Program provides access to computers for members of our community who have not had access to technology.  We operate three (3) public CAT Computer Labs in different areas of the Salt Lake Valley in order to teach classes in fundamental computer skills.   Our class descriptions are available on this website or by calling the CAT Lab telephone numbers below.
