Our Programs

Through a combination of one-on-one support, instructor-led workshops, and web-based resources we provide customized approaches, free of charge, to promote digital literacy skills.

 

Customized 1:1 Training sessions

A client support specialist will lead an initial needs assessment meeting to identify main gaps and goals. After this, a client support specialist will work with the client to meet their short and long term technology learning goals (e.g FaceTime/Skype/Email training).

 

Instructor-led Workshops

Retirement community administrators, community groups, churches or caregivers can contact Connected Canadians to inquire about booking one or more of our workshops, including: Staying Safe on the Internet: How to Spot Phishing and other Scams and Troubleshooting Common Computer Problems: What 5 Things Should You Try First?  Workshops can hold 15 people or more, depending on the format.

Online Resources

Connected Canadians is continually working with subject matter experts to build up our own carefully curated knowledge base of FAQs, articles and videos to help Canadians wherever they are located.
