Funding for ‘Building Digital Skills Program’ training
Ability Works holds ‘Building Digital Skills Program’ training with the support of ‘Good Things’ and ‘Be Connected’.
Ability Works received a grant to provide digital skills training for at least 17 employees aged 50+ and over. The training used the Capture IT system and Be Connected short courses. The first topic covered internet safety, how to find information, and how to search for things online. The goal is to help employees learn new digital skills, create a program that the Support Team and volunteers can deliver, and help employees explore other work opportunities, like web usability testing. This program will also help older Australians and people with disabilities build basic digital skills and confidence. Ability Works wants to give participants the skills they need to confidently use the internet and find new opportunities.
