We are excited to let you know that the Australian Government has funded the extension of Be Connected to June 2021! This is such a positive reflection on the success of the program to date and all the work you are doing to support people to learn new digital skills. So a big congratulations to you!
What does this mean?
This news means we can continue to deliver the Be Connected program including:
- More grant opportunities to help you to deliver digital skills programs to people over 50 in your community. We will be reopening Be Connected grant rounds in February 2020.
- More courses coming on the Be Connected Learning Portal developed by our friends at the Office of the eSafety Commissioner.
- Continuation of our dedicated telephone helpline that supports both Network Partners and learners.
- More support for your programs through our fantastic Network Team who deliver webinars, develop new digital mentor resources, hold Network Partner events and more.
