Digital training for seniors
PEOPLE aged over 50 can take advantage of free face-to-face training at libraries in the Mareeba Shire.
In partnership with the State Library of Queensland, Kuranda, Chillagoe and Dimbulah Libraries will host sessions specifically designed for Australians aged 50 and older.
The workshops, based on the trusted BeConnected program, provide a practical introduction to navigating digital devices, accessing the internet safely, and making the most of online resources.
The course features a mix of discussion, demonstrations, guided practice, and interactive sessions. Participants are encouraged to bring their own devices, but devices will also be available for use.
