History
The Community IT Academy (CITA) was developed by John Sadler and Peter Hill and officially launched in September 2003, by the then Minister for Industrial Affairs, Stephen Timms.
CITA started by training long-term unemployed people to become IT technicians and enjoyed considerable success. This allowed almost 90% of the trainees to attain a recognised IT qualification and over 80% to moving into work or further training.
As a result of this work CITA has evolved into an organisation aiming to meet the needs of the voluntary sector in the North East of England and offer a wide range of IT related services and fully funded projects.
Look at our "Past Projects" section to see details of completed work undertaken with the voluntary sector.
