InspireduAdult Digital Literacy Program
Inspiredu’s Adult Digital Literacy Program provides training for adults who are lacking basic computer skills.
Adults lacking basic computer skills, including parents in economically disadvantaged communities
From iuatl.org/learning-spark-initiative ↗About this program
Society has become increasingly dependent on technology in both the workplace and everyday life. We recognized the disparate technological abilities in members of economically disadvantaged communities. The education system has increasingly incorporated digital communication. Parents who are unable to access this communication are at a grave disadvantage, which in turn negatively affects their children’s education. Through our adult courses, parents are able to increase their confidence in navigating various digital platforms. This program gives parents the tools not only to assist their children in their education, but it also gives them the ability to carry those skills over into the workplace to improve their own career opportunities. In addition, having devices at their homes can lead to increased usage of telehealth, banking, and research opportunities.
In both our Family Learning Workshop and our Adult Digital Literacy programs, participants attend a workshop that provides a myriad of technical skills, from setting up the computer and logging on to the internet, to using basic computer software, to understanding how to use technology to increase financial wellness, to completing certifications to bolster work readiness.
