Digital literacy program returns to Avoca
AVOCA Information Centre has relaunched its Seniors Digital Literacy Program, aiming to help residents build confidence and skills when navigating today’s technology-driven world.
Pyrenees Shire Council CEO Jim Nolan said the program has previously run successfully and is now returning in a slightly smaller format.
“In regional communities like ours, access to digital skills is just as important as access to roads and infrastructure. By delivering this program locally at the Avoca Information Centre, we’re making it easier for residents to learn new skills close to home,” Mr Nolan said.
The initiative includes two support options designed to meet different needs.
Each Tuesday from 3pm, residents can attend one-on-one sessions for personalised assistance with their devices, whether it be an iPad, phone or tablet.
“We can help anyone who comes in with a device that needs support to navigate basic technology,” Mr Nolan said.
In addition to the individual sessions, a small group class will be held on March 3 from 10.30am to 11.30am.
Sessions cover everything from the basics of sending a text message to attaching documents to emails and completing online forms.
Bookings are essential for the group class due to limited numbers. To secure a place, contact Avoca Information Centre on 5465 1000 or email aic@pyrenees.vic.gov.au.
