Cook Shire residents looking to build their digital confidence are invited to take part in free Be Connected Digital Skills Workshops this October, hosted by Cook Shire and State Libraries.
The hands-on sessions are designed to help participants feel more comfortable using their phones, tablets, and laptops — covering everyday digital skills like staying safe online, using apps, browsing the internet, sending emails, and more.
The workshops are perfect for anyone who wants to learn in a friendly, relaxed environment.
The program is based on the trusted Be Connected initiative, which helps Australians of all ages build digital skills and safely navigate the online world.
