DANEnet’s Digital Skills Offerings
Adults can gain basic computer skills and get help with tech questions in our free Digital Skills Classes or Computer Help Clinics held at libraries and community centers.
- Digital Skills Classes – held with small groups (typically 5-12 individuals) where an educator teaches about a specific topic, such as computer basics, email, cyber security, or cellphone basics.
- Computer Help Clinics – one-on-one lessons for individuals to bring their unique tech questions and concerns to discuss with an educator or technician. 20-30 minute sessions are reserved for each client.
