New online space launches for residents

Fri, 13 Jan 2023


A dedicated space for developing digital skills and awareness open this week.

The new The Get Online Centre is part of the Manx Government's initiative to reduce digital exclusion, and is based in the Welcome Centre at the Sea Terminal.

The aim is to improve access and confidence in digital services by providing free access to computers and training to develop digital skills, learning to use devices and be safe online.

Training and support will be provided by friendly in-house trainers, in a separate training room, helping learners understand the benefits of being online and showing them how to complete a range of simple activities that can make a huge difference.

The centre will offer both one-to-one and group sessions on topics like internet security, improving Microsoft Office skills, shopping online, getting started with email and using Skype.

Organisations are also invited to book the training room for digital inclusion related activities such as training or awareness raising events, to help promote digital inclusion on the Island.
