    FaCSIA will purchase ten laptop computers and the necessary programs and Karadi will insure these laptops and provide any ongoing maintenance. Records of the participants will be made with Job Network numbers by Karadi. Relationship building will also be a focus and assisting this process Karadi is to host morning teas in which Job Network Members and Centrelink can meet with participants.
