The Minns Labor Government has delivered $500,000 in grant funding to equip older people from diverse backgrounds with the skills required to navigate a rapidly evolving digital world.
This year, the popular Tech Savvy Seniors program will support over 70 community colleges and libraries across the state to deliver free or low-cost training sessions for seniors.
More than 156,000 participants have been involved in Tech Savvy Seniors since the program was launched 12 years ago.
The program has a strong track record of supporting seniors to gain confidence with technology in terms of accessing online services, developing scammer awareness, and connecting with loved ones through social media channels.
This ensures the program is inclusive and responsive to the needs of the state’s diverse ageing population.
