Initially we be making the kiosk available for about 20 hours a week so we will need at least four or more tutors. So if you think you might be interested in giving us a couple of hours a week please contact Greg on 4758-6552.
]]>We are pleased to let you know that Katoomba Men's Shed has been approved as a host venue for a Broadband for Seniors internet kiosk.
The free kiosk is to feature two computers with free broadband access for use by older members of our local community. We are also providing training, so beginners are very welcome!
Our new Broadband for Seniors internet kiosk is due to be rolled out in March to be ready for use as soon as we open.
Broadband for Seniors is part of a $15m Australian Government initiative to increase the skills of older Australians using computers and the internet.
A Broadband for Seniors kiosk offers the opportunity for our seniors to discover how the web can play a great part in helping you and your fellow members to stay in touch with friends and family, along with offering access to the wealth of information available online. This is your chance to find out what all the excitement is about.
So if you, or someone you know would be interested in learning more about computers and the internet please pay us a visit any Thursday, or contact us on 4782-7433 (you may need to leave a message).
More information on the Broadband for Seniors initiative can be found at http://www.necseniors.net.au
