Be Connected - Providing Digital Literacy Training for Seniors

Capacity Builders are ambassadors of the Be Connected Network and are delivering innovative outreach projects to build the Network and engage Australians over 50 to learn digital skills. Each Capacity Builder has a unique approach to engage their community with the support of Good Things Foundation.

The Place would like to invite any organisations working with seniors to get involved in delivering the Be Connected program. We offer guidance and ongoing support in accessing training grants, planning and delivering training as well as an ongoing technology support group for learners.

FREE digital technology training is also available at The Place for anyone over 50 years old. The training is offered in small groups to allow personalised learning and one on one coaching.
