The Place is a Be Connected Capacity Builder

Be Connected

Be Connected - Providing Digital Literacy Training for Seniors

Capacity Builders are ambassadors of the Be Connected Network and are delivering innovative outreach projects to build the Network and engage Australians over 50 to learn digital skills. Each Capacity Builder has a unique approach to engage their community with the support of Good Things Foundation.

The Place would like to invite any organisations working with seniors to get involved in delivering the Be Connected program. We offer guidance and ongoing support in accessing training grants, planning and delivering training as well as an ongoing technology support group for learners.

FREE digital technology training is also available at The Place for anyone over 50 years old. The training is offered in small groups to allow personalised learning and one on one coaching.

Dates: Wednesdays, 9:30am – 12:15pm

Call 02 4032 5500 or email programs@theplacecharlestown.org.au to book or for further information about getting involved as a Be Connected Network Partner or to join a training class.

What makes a great venue? According to our 5-star reviews, it's more than just quality facilities and a convenient location. It's the experience, the support, and the confidence that your event is in good hands. At The Place, we provide professional, flexible spaces for meetings, workshops, training sessions, community events and corporate functions. Our team works closely with organisers to ensure every event runs smoothly from start to finish. What makes us different is that every booking creates impact beyond the room itself. As a Social Enterprise, venue hire at The Place helps fund local community programs that reduce social isolation, build skills, strengthen connections and create opportunities for people across our region. So when you're planning your next meeting, workshop, training day or event, consider a venue that delivers value for you or your organisation while supporting meaningful outcomes in the community.
