Digital training for seniors

Spark curiosity, connectedness and confidence with smart devices

 

Technology should make life easier - not harder.

At YourLink, we help seniors feel more confident using their phones, tablets and online services. We break things down into simple, practical steps and create a space where no question is too small.

We’ve now supported more than 5,000 seniors, carers and care workers to build their digital confidence - and we’re just getting started.

Learning Together Makes a Difference

One thing we hear again and again?

People learn better when they’re not learning alone.

That’s why our sessions are social, supportive and paced to suit the group. Participants sit alongside others, share experiences, and realise they’re not the only ones who’ve ever felt unsure about technology.

We work closely with your organisation and your community to understand real needs - not assumptions. Every program is tailored around the people in the room.

Tea & Technology 

Our signature Tea & Technology sessions are relaxed, practical and hands-on. We move at a comfortable pace.

Participants bring their own device (Apple or Android), and we guide them step-by-step through the things that matter most in everyday life.

Sessions may include:

  • Sending emails, photos and messages

  • Making video calls

  • Adjusting settings for easier seeing and hearing

  • Downloading and organising apps

  • Staying safe online

  • Understanding digital wallets

  • Exploring hobbies, news and local services

  • Using helpful features like Siri or Google Assistant

  • Navigating and safely using Artificial Intelligence tools like ChatGPT or Google’s AI features

Digital Seminars for Seniors

Not every session needs to be hands-on.

Our Digital Seminars are engaging, informative sessions designed to spark curiosity and build awareness around specific topics. These are ideal for larger groups or community events.

Popular topics include:

  • Understanding online scams and staying safe

  • Artificial Intelligence explained simply - what it is and how to use it safely

  • Navigating AI tools for everyday help

  • Understanding accessibility settings on Apple and Android devices

  • Making the most of your smartphone

  • Social media and privacy

  • Managing passwords

  • Digital wellbeing

  • Digital Wallets and payment options

These sessions focus on understanding, discussion and practical takeaways - helping participants feel more informed, capable and curious rather than intimidated.

Flexible Options to Suit Your Community

We can deliver:

  • One-off workshops

  • Multi-session learning programs

  • Community presentations and events

  • Digital safety seminars

  • AI introduction sessions

  • Accessibility-focused sessions

  • Workforce upskilling sessions

  • Hybrid or online sessions where needed

If you have a specific need or idea, we can design a program to suit. Every community is different - and we respect that.

Participants have 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
