Volunteer Computer Mentors and New Learners Required
BSOL is a voluntary not-for-profit organisation established to provide computer tuition and support for people over 50 in the Brisbane area. Learners normally receive one-on-one tuition based on a structured but flexible curriculum that can be tailored to suit the skills and needs of learners. Ideally training is provided on learners’ own computers in their home. In some cases, tuition is offered in structured classes, in Council libraries and in our Central training rooms in the City. Brisbane is broken up into 9 hubs. Currently desperately seeking new mentors in most of these hubs in the Brisbane area. Mentoring is a rewarding experience and also allows mentors themselves to acquire additional skills by interaction with other mentors and learners. Mentors are not required to be computer experts but some reasonable degree of computer confidence and competencies are essential. As an active mentor, free additional training is available on specialised applications and new technology. Learners receive training on computer basics, security, operating systems, word processing, email and Internet. More advanced training and workshops are available to learners and mentors. Please see the BSOL website www.bsol.asn.au or contact the BSOL office on 3210 6983. To view photos Click Here
