The Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) Tech Savvy training is aimed at those with very little or no experience of technology and includes basic introductory courses on the use of computers, smartphones, laptops, internet and email.
Mayor Khal Asfour says the training will be fun, hands-on, and designed to assist with everyday online tasks.
“Whether you need some assistance with your smartphone, tablet or laptop, or just want to learn how to use features like video chat and Google Maps, these sessions will give you the direction and help you need in a friendly and fun environment,” he said.
“Helping locals become comfortable with these new products will allow them to develop new skills and will open them to a range of new opportunities and give them the confidence to use future technologies more readily.”
Bilingual teachers from the Ethnic Community Council will be running the training, offering the following languages, including Arabic, Cantonese, Greek, Korean, Mandarin and Vietnamese.
