Goodwill committed to promoting digital literacy

Seattle Goodwill’s initiative to promote digital literacy in our community goes beyond basic computing skills. This initiative focuses intently on the resourceful use of digital technology and the associated thinking and navigational research skills that are becoming essential for life success in the 21st century.

Digital literacy is no longer a luxury, but a vital necessity for navigating the modern world, including everything from applying for a job, to researching and scheduling a doctor’s appointment, to communicating with a child’s teacher.

Seattle Goodwill’s unique training program is the first among Goodwills across the country to feature mobile devices rather than desktop or laptop computers, because mobile devices are the primary or only way many people have for accessing the Internet.

With generous support from Comcast, Goodwill is developing the curriculum, training our ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) instructors and rolling-out the new campaign across ten job training sites.
