Technology and Digital Literacy Program offered at Helping Link

Focused primarily on computers and iPad/iPhone use, this course meets weekly to instruct adult and elder clients on basic technology use in order to help them develop skills necessary for employment and day-to-day needs and opportunities. The course also teaches clients to use technology and social media to maintain communication, navigate around the city and stay connected with their community. Our clients are given new means to assimilate to their new home. This, along with the relationships forged among clients and volunteers, helps build confidence and prevents the isolation common to immigrant communities. In the iPhone/iPad section, clients learn to optimize its functions, which includes image sharing, translating text, apps downloading (i.e., Zoom, app’s function), map utilizing, storage managing, etc. The Digital Literacy section includes a bilingual Vietnamese and English computer manual, which provides a comprehensive understanding of the basic computer functions and tips to becoming familiar with the computer programs
