Free technology classes for people aged 50-plus to learn about all aspects of the internet and digital devices are now available at five locations across the Central Coast.
The program, supported by the Good Things Foundation and Be Connected, an Australian Government initiative, provides workshops to learn how to use and get the most out of a smartphone, tablet, iPad, or laptop.
These learning opportunities are available at The Ary Toukley, Oak Retirement Village at Kanwal, Ettalong Diggers, Central Coast Leagues Club in Gosford, and the Mangrove Mountain Computer Club.
Member for Robertson Gordon Reid is encouraging residents to participate and take advantage of these workshops.
“The Federal Labor Government understands that technology is increasingly becoming more and more integral in our everyday lives,” he said.
“It is imperative then that everyone in our community feels confident to use technology and get the most out of it.”
