Volunteer Digital Champion – The Rewards …..
5
Breaking down the barriers – that light-bulb moment when a learner realises how useful computer skills can be (“Train my puppy” via Google)
Receiving thanks and positive feedback from numerous learners (cards, chocolates and ……… eBay sales)
Helping learners to search and apply for jobs …. and be invited to interview (Apply via Indeed and called 2 days later)!!
Connecting friends and family via Facebook and Skype (connecting a 71 year-old to his brother in Australia)
The excellent training and support enabled me to consider and ultimately pursue a career change as a tutor / trainer
(DU … WAD …. Go –Train …… MHFA …. 350+ learners … so far!! )

Tim’s Digital Champion experience- Lessons learned• Patience is a pre-requisite …. everyone learns at a different pace.
• Motivate your learners – show how offline interests can be found online.
• Agree objectives for learning – maintain a learning log to review progress.
• Provide follow-up reference resources e.g. Learnmyway.com, YouTube, etc
• It’s about “Improving their life and employment opportunities” not just work!
• Be positive – stress anyone can learn at any age, face your fears …… Nick
Vujicic “No arms, no legs …. No worries”!!
• Helping others can be rewarding. Remember - it’s a pleasure and privilege!

What is the Digital Skills Partnership?
● Public, private and charity sector organisations working together to tackle the digital divide
● Promoting, sharing and scaling best practice
● Building on the four million digital skills training pledges announced in the 2017 Digital Strategy
![Page 31: DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE DIGITAL SKILLS SUPPORT · 2019-04-11 · 4 Volunteer Digital Champion - Tim’s First Day Arrived at 8.30 and logged into my work laptop via free wi-fi. Helped](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042017/5e7561a22824982e015f935b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Digital Skills Challenges & Opportunities
● Local variation:○ Work locally to support best practice to scale
○ Target digital skills provisions to identified need, supporting local
economies and communities
● Fragmented digital skills landscape: ○ Difficult for providers to identify gaps in the market and avoid duplication
○ Difficult for learners to identify programmes best suited for achieving
certain outcomes
![Page 33: DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE DIGITAL SKILLS SUPPORT · 2019-04-11 · 4 Volunteer Digital Champion - Tim’s First Day Arrived at 8.30 and logged into my work laptop via free wi-fi. Helped](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042017/5e7561a22824982e015f935b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
How can we create a more coherent framework so that:
● People and organisations can better identify and access good quality digital skills training opportunities (basic/general/specialist)?
● Providers can more easily collaborate to upscale and innovate and identify gaps rather than duplicating their efforts?
● Predictions can be made of what digital skills will be needed in new or emerging labour markets so that we can proactively train people to fill future roles?
