C3 Resource Specialist

HOW THE PROGRAM BEGAN

In 2014, the Archdiocese established the “C3RS”, a team of technology resource specialists to assist parishes and schools improve their use of technology. To date, the C3RS team has made over 2000 site visits, providing guidance and expertise in use of all types of technology. The C3RS Team also provides technical support to E-rate Consortium projects. The troubleshooting, problem-solving, planning, follow up and documentation that the C3RS team provides are important cost-free services. For assistance email c3specialist@la-archdiocese.org.
