We’re excited to be running another round of our Digital Exchange Program!

In February we’re offering FREE training for community members to become Digital Mentors. Learn how to support your family, friends and/or your community to improve their digital skills and confidence.

We have two sessions available, please see the dates above. You only need to attend one day of FREE training and be willing to support learners over 50. We'll be providing resources and follow up support sessions, including a community support day opportunity held at our Centre, where mentors can assist learners with a specific topic.

All Digital Mentors who complete this program will receive a certificate that can be added to your resume, and have the opportunity to win prizes for supporting learners.

This opportunity is perfect for people looking to upskill or build upon their resume and people who are looking to help others and learn something new. It's also particularly beneficial for anyone working with or supporting people over 50, such as those who work in aged care or the community sector.

Free lunch and refreshments will be provided, please let us know if you have any dietary requirements.

Bookings are essential as spaces are limited. If you have any questions, please call us on (02) 4032 5500, or email us at programs@theplacecharlestown.org.au
