Open Lab support

PVCC employees have free access to use the software and hardware in the CC Open Lab. Employees are expected to show a PVCC staff ID (available from Public Safety) to access CC Open Lab resources.

Look for persons wearing a green band around their neck with a badge on the end. These are lab staff available to help in the Open Lab.

Employees in the Open Lab requiring in-depth one-on-one help should schedule time with a technology trainer. Technology trainers include:
