Empowering underprivileged adolescents and youths in digital literacy and IT skills
Enabling young people with computer literacy and digital skills to use technology is pivotal to bring about positive changes in their lives in the 21st century.
YouthInvest Foundation runs Digital Literacy Centres (DLC) for
underprivileged youths from rural and urban areas to equip them with digital literacy and computer skills. Digital literacy and computer skills can potentially improve the productivity of young people, enhancing their employment and earning potential leading to a better future.
DLCs provide short-term courses that enable adolescents and youths to learn the basics of computer, MS Word, MS Excel, and MS PowerPoint, as well as the use of the internet in day-to-day operations including finance, social media, accessing government schemes and benefits, etc.
