What are the 5 steps to help the older worker learn new digital skills?

Train and train again

Connect local resources to be available

Train face to face

Small classrooms with large monitors are great

Drill to narrow search results

Google search is a wonder resource, provided you know how to effectively leverage it

Less distractions, alerts, notifications

Smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops should have the default alerts and notifications modified to the user's needs, and not the hardware or software provider

Do not generalize

Have the students prepare their tops 3 questions and specifically answer them with takeaways and homework
