The Computer Personnel Development Association, Inc. (CPDA) is an organization that has been set up to secure openings in the computer field for individuals from ghetto areas. To prepare these people for work in a business environment, CPDA will provide orientation and training courses in data processing. The program is organized by professionals within the computer industry in collaboration with local community development groups who will help select participants for the program, and with industrial leaders who will locate and provide job opportunities for the participants.
