Community Technology Centers (CTC) are established through the Eliminate the Digital Divide Grant to provide free access to a variety of computing technologies in an environment of supportive learning.

CTC's are stepping-stones to opportunity, equality and civic participation for youth, senior citizens, minorities, low-income people, and new residents. These Centers also serve as focal points for job skill development, lifelong learning and community building.

The Aurora Community Technology Center was opened on July 10, 2006. The official Grand Opening was held on July 20, 2006, and shares an anniversary with the Illinois Employment and Training Center housed in the same facility.

Funding for the CTC was secured by Waubonsee Community College's Career Services Center, Workforce Development, and Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity 'Eliminate the Digital Divide' grant.
