What are some of the computer skills middle aged employee’s need to learn the most to keep up with technology?
Posted by admin on September 4, 2008
I want to create a class to offer middle aged men and women that would beef up their computer literacy skills so that they will still be able to market themselves should they find themselves unemployed. I am curious as to what you think those basic skills are and how important each skill would be to someone who might find themselves on the wrong side of the digital divide with technology should they loose their job?
