(Hosting-NewsWire.com, October 20, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- Seniors in Singapore soon will have more options for learning computer skills.
Woodlands Regional Library and Kampong Kembangan Community Club will be added to the list of Silver Infocomm Junctions offering training in information technology and Web access.
“Seniors now have more places to access computers and Internet service free of charge at convenient places such as community centers, senior citizen connect areas or clans and society buildings,” said Lawrence Wong.
Courses conducted in English, Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil are offered for seniors who want to develop their computer skills through the Silver Infocomm Junctions program.
Attendance of the courses has been good, Wong said, adding that the rates are inexpensive, for as little at $5 an hour.
“Over 54,000 training slots have been filled at these junctions,” he said. “Some of the early trainees have even stepped forward as ‘teachers’ to impart their infocomm knowledge to fellow senior citizens.”
The Infocomm Development Authority has added offerings that suit seniors’ lifestyles and learning requirements, Wong said. Seniors can learn about online services for making medical appointments and visit health-related sites. Courses also include Chinese character input through Hanyu Pinyin. Introductions to tablet computers and smartphones is also planned.
