Digital Inclusion Programmes
To be well-equipped for the digital future, we provide our learners access to affordable digital devices, essential skills to use them, motivation to connect and learn, and trust to stay safe online.
Partner with us
We work with partners to deliver community-based learning. We focus on reciprocal relationships with community partners, funding agencies, government, research institutes and technology providers.
Learn with us
As a learner you will gain essential basic digital skills, plus confidence to use your digital device and the Internet, understand how the digital world can help you connect, learn and interact in ways that are positive to you.
We partner with local communities to deliver our digital inclusion programmes. Our learners better their education, find work, easily access the services and products they want, manage their health, social and community participation.
This creates a level playing field where everyone can benefit from the advantages of technology, regardless of their background or circumstances.
This is about making sure that everyone can use and enjoy the internet and digital technology—including access, digital skills training, and support.
