The Be Connected is inviting organisations for the Building Digital Skills Grant Program to start up and continue delivering their digital literacy programs.
The aim of the Building Digital Skills grants program is to enable organisations to support older Australians 50+ through free face-to-face contact (if safe to do so), either one-on-one or in small groups, to develop their digital skills and confidence, utilising the learning courses available on the Be Connected Learning site. A range of resources and support materials are available to help organisations to deliver this program.
Building Digital Skills grants are offered by Good Things Foundation to community organisations in Australia through the Be Connected program.
