Needs Assessment
1. What is the learning problem or opportunity?
Spanish speaking adults struggling to use a computer, laptop or
tablet.
2. What is currently available?
Classes are offered at community colleges but it intimidates some
adults to attend a large learning facility.

Small facility that offers computer classes in Spanish at an
affordable price and convenient schedule.
4. Explain the gap analysis between what is available
and what should be available.
Most classes are offered in a community college or very expensive
private classes. We need to offer this education in a smaller more

The class should be offered at a convenient schedule that is easy
for them to attend after work or after children are home from school.
Class needs to be affordable and offer payment options.
