Digital Skills Ready@50+ initiative

Description

Older workers with more digital skills have significantly higher earnings than those with fewer skills. AARP Foundation, through a generous grant from Google.org, launched the Digital Skills Ready@50+™ initiative to provide digital skills training to people over 50 living with low income, with a focus on women and people of color. The curriculum by Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) offers foundational digital courses, like Zoom Essentials and Introduction to Digital Culture, that are designed to help participants find jobs, change careers, or explore entrepreneurship.

We're excited to embark on this vital work, but we can't do it alone. AARP Foundation is seeking community partners to implement the Digital Skills Ready@50+ trainings – partners who:

• Have the capacity to deliver the trainings
• Share our commitment to supporting older adults
• Demonstrate that equity and inclusion are core to their work
