Vijay Computer Academy (VCA) is partnering with nonprofits and government agencies to train employees, youth, girls and women in IT Because technology is advancing at such a rapid speed, some organizations in the non-profit sector and the government have found it difficult to make the digital transition that’s necessary for them to operate in an ever-changing digital world.
