Embracing the Digital Age – At Every Life Stage

In today’s rapidly changing world, digital literacy has become an essential skill for people of all ages. To help connect seniors to the skills they need, we’re meeting them where they are through digital literacy workshops held in communities across the country.

• A digital workshop at The Ashbury Senior Computer Community Center in Cleveland helped a 64-year-old better track his household finances and a 74-year-old find a part-time home-based job.
• A workshop at the Oshkosh Seniors Center in Wisconsin explained the financial benefits of the Affordable Connectivity Program, best practices for Internet use, online safety, avoiding scams, accessing Wi-Fi and conducting virtual meetings. The carrier made a $10,000 contribution towards new training courses.
• The Salvadoran American Leadership and Educational Fund (SALEF) in Los Angeles is running several digital literacy workshops this summer that are conducted in Spanish.
