Through our partnership with We Are Digital, we have been helping to support Curo residents gain knowledge and build confidence getting online.
Stephen, a Curo resident, shares his story.
“I was really grateful for the service and always felt positive at the end of each session feeling accomplished”.
Stephen had some experience in using computers, and he used his local library to access the internet for general online browsing and sifting through emails. He was keen to learn and brush up on his digital skills.
He was referred to We Are Digital for training by Curo, and it was established that he would benefit from using his own and a more up-to-date digital device. He was given a tablet to support him during his sessions.
“I was quite excited, almost thought it was too good to be true when I was first called up about training, especially getting free equipment”.
Stephen received all his training with the same trainer, Bobby, and says he helped him to feel more confident during his sessions.
“Bobby was absolutely brilliant, very patient and helpful with everything in all the sessions. Didn’t make me feel intimidated with learning at all”.
Since the training Stephen continues to use the digital skills he leant, logging into MyCuro to view his account information, browsing the internet and doing more tasks online.
We still have a few places remaining for Curo residents who would like to receive training.
All the training is free and will take place remotely, you'll receive six hours of help where you need it the most. We can also help you with equipment and provide an internet connection to get you started.
