A new test-and-learn initiative aims to recruit more than 1,400 digital champions within disability, youth and support organisations
These champions will engage with people who are not online and provide them with personal long-term support.
Digital Unite, a leading provider of digital skills learning, will lead a 'One Digital consortium' comprising Age UK, Citizens Online and the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO).
These diverse organisations will work closely together to provide bespoke training, share and improve practices and develop consistent ways of evaluating success.
The One Digital consortium will benefit:
- people with disabilities and accessibility needs
- young adults seeking work
- over 65s
- charities and the people they support
The training will help them
- access essential online services
- search and apply for jobs
- stay in touch with friends and family
