Key digital capability focus

State Library’s regional digital development project supports the growth of digital capability in regional and remote Queensland. Initiatives for each region are based on community needs and include free workshops that offer hands-on opportunities to explore new technologies and develop digital skills in friendly, community-based settings.

Digital capability focus for the Far North Queensland region:

Digital skills for older Australians
Tailored digital literacy workshops to support older adults in gaining confidence with everyday technology.
Activity-based digital skills workshops
Hands-on sessions to help participants use technology to achieve practical outcomes while also building local capacity by training library staff to deliver future workshops.
Digital business and workforce skills training
Workshops to help small businesses adopt digital tools for growth, and to equip job seekers with essential digital skills for modern workplaces.
