It was a busy summer for the Getting Started team in Dublin, Cork and Galway. We ran a number of summer camps for older people to learn how to use their computers, phones and tablets which were a great success.
Some of the community centres where we run classes closed in July and Aug. and it gave the team some time to plan for the hectic autumn term and also the chance to take some leave and enjoy the summer holidays.
Our corporate partners were very busy with classes run in Dell, VMware and EMC in Cork and with IBM, HP, Salesforce and Paypal/Ebay in Dublin and with Cisco in Galway. The volunteers in VMware made a great video about the classes they were involved with which you can see below
We continue to get wonderful positive feedback from our learners such as the email below
Dear Julie
Many thanks for making it possible for me to join the course as I found it so worthwhile and have got rid of a lot of fear of the computer. Terri was terrific and she could explain things so clearly.
Very many thanks and best wishes.
