At the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA), we believe that every piece of technology has the potential to change a life. For this reason, access to the right technology can open doors to education, employment, and skill development. As a result, we are proud to support Zantray Society of Alberta for Workforce Empowerment through the donation of a refurbished laptop.
Through this donation, ERA continues its commitment to digital inclusion, community support, and responsible electronics reuse across Canada.
Empowering Individuals Through Workforce Development
Zantray Society of Alberta for Workforce Empowerment helps individuals prepare for meaningful employment by building skills, accessing opportunities, and gaining confidence in today’s workforce. At the same time, their mission closely aligns with ERA’s goal of removing barriers and ensuring people have access to the tools they need to move forward.
For many job seekers, access to reliable technology plays a critical role. Without it, tasks such as resume building, job searching, and online training become major challenges. With it, individuals can fully participate in today’s digital job market.
Why Technology Access Matters
In today’s digital world, a computer is no longer a luxury – instead, it is a necessity. Because of this, even one laptop can help someone:
- Create and update a resume
- Search and apply for jobs online
- Complete virtual training and certifications
- Communicate with employers and support organizations
- Build digital skills required for long-term employment
By donating this laptop, ERA actively supports pathways to employment, independence, and economic stability.
From Unused Electronics to Community Impact
This donation became possible because businesses and individuals chose to donate their unused or gently used electronics through ERA. Rather than sitting in storage or being discarded, ERA refurbishes the equipment, securely wipes all data, and redirects it to charities and community organizations that need it most.
As a result, every donated device can become a bridge – connecting someone to education, employment, and a more stable future.
Supporting Communities Across Alberta and Canada
Technology donations like this one play a vital role in strengthening local communities. By partnering with organizations such as Zantray Society of Alberta for Workforce Empowerment, ERA helps ensure individuals facing employment barriers have access to the tools they need to succeed in a digital-first economy.
Each donation represents more than just equipment – it represents opportunity, dignity, and progress.
