Digital training for seniors
A program designed specifically for seniors to spark curiosity, connectedness and confidence with smart devices
We aim to break down the barriers many older adults face with technology and to give them more confidence with using smart devices. Our approach puts seniors at the very heart of what we do. We’ve used their input and feedback to design programs that work best for them. In all we've trained over 5,000 seniors, carers and careworkers so far, and this number is growing everyday.
Through our work we’ve heard repeatedly that social learning in a group is an important part of the experience for seniors. That’s why we’re committed to it as part of our delivery approach. In designing your seniors training program, we will work with you and them to address their needs so that they have the best social learning experience possible.
Participants will be part of a relaxed and fun environment, joined by peers, where they will learn more about how to use an iPad, apps and websites. We lovingly call this our ‘Tea and Technology’ event. It’s a hands-on program and all questions are welcome as we go.
Our Tea and Technology events can be delivered through Zoom or we can deliver the workshop in person when COVID-19 restrictions allow.
Participants will gain insights and greater confidence to:
Create content like email and video using a smart device
Personalise their device to suit their needs
Improve connection with friends, family and community
Seek out personal interests in an online environment
Understand of the fundamentals of online safety
