FREE Digital Mentor Training

Help seniors with digital literacy.

We are thrilled to announce we are running more FREE Digital Mentor Training Sessions , and we cannot wait to embark on this digital journey with you!


In 2024, we are offering an opportunity for community members like you to become Digital Mentors for people over 50 who lack basic digital skills. This is your chance to make a positive impact by helping your loved ones, friends, neighbours, and community members boost their digital literacy and confidence.


All you need to do is attend one day of FREE training and be willing to support learners who are over 50. We are here to support you every step of the way, providing valuable resources and follow-up support sessions. Plus, we are also planning several community support days that will be held at our Centre that you can join, where you will be able to assist elderly learners with specific tasks.


All Digital Mentors who complete this program will receive a certificate that you can use to enhance your resume. And that is not all – you will also have a chance to win some awards and prizes for your dedication to helping others.


This opportunity is a perfect fit for those looking to upskill or add a valuable credential to their resume. It is also a wonderful way to give back to your community and gain new experiences. If you are involved in aged care or the community sector, this program can be particularly beneficial.


We have you covered when it comes to lunch, with delicious free lunch and refreshments provided during the training. Just let us know if you have any dietary requirements, and we will make sure you are well taken care of!

Bookings are essential as spaces are limited, so please be sure to secure your spot by booking early.

The Place is proud to be the first community organisation in NSW to take part in the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program, supporting more people in our community to get connected and build confidence online. Through the program, we helped allocate 30 refurbished laptops to local people in our community, including seniors, carers, people with disability and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Participants receive 12 months of free data, digital skills training and IT Support to help them make the most of their device. Delivered by NSW Telco Authority in partnership with WorkVentures and Good Things Australia, the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program is part of the NSW Government’s Digital Inclusion Strategy. The program helps bridge the digital divide by giving people access to the essential technology, connectivity and support needed in today’s digital world. We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity for our local community and want to thank everyone who made it possible.
