What is this program?
This program is supported by a CASF Grant, which aims to enhance digital literacy and promote broadband adoption. Our goal is to bridge the digital divide by teaching fundamental computer skills and Generative AI, empowering individuals to become informed digital citizens.
What if I have a language barrier?
We currently offer a Parkway Center for Persian speakers and have Spanish-speaking staff at certain locations.
For other languages such as Hmong, Ukrainian, Chinese, and more, our program utilizes a platform compatible with Google Chrome, allowing us to translate the course content into written format as needed. Our facilitators will assist as much as possible, and we may also use AI tools to support translation for participants with language barriers. Additionally, we email a document to all users with an option to select their preferred language for reading the guide.
How long do I have access to the online platform?
Currently you will have 12 months to review the course as often as you would like. You will have full access to all portions of the module including the additional Gen AI classes we have included.
