Castilla y León gives new impetus to access of rural citizens to new technologies, and more specifically, training through the free digital skills courses taught by the Board in the Cyl Digital Program.
So much so, that of the 241 face-to-face training programmed in the month of December, 151 will be carried out in the Rural Associated Centers, more than 63 percent of the total. The rest (90) will be carried out in the CyL Digital Spaces located in all provincial capitals.
Besides, The CyL Digital program will also have 22 training activities this month through the online platform www.cyldigital.es, which allows you to access this training at any time in a simple way.
The recipients of the CyL Digital program are those groups with the greatest difficulties in accessing the Information Society: elderly, unemployedpeople with disabilities, immigrants or minors, but they are also aimed at providing service to other groups that can use technology in their daily lives, such as self-employed and small businesses, young people, fathers, mothers, school-aged children, and more.
The free training that the Board offers in the CyL Digital Spaces allows citizens and companies to learn from the most basic (book appointment or see results through SACyL Conecta u operate with the online banking app) to elements that can help them in their personal and/or professional development (how the main social networks work, artificial intelligence or GPT Chat).
The CyL Digital Program goes beyond these courses and also offers this month a total of 21 digital knowledge certification tests through TuCertiCyL (11 basic level and 10 intermediate level), the Board’s digital skills certification platform. The ultimate goal of these exams is to officially certify that any person has a certain level of digital skills.
Registration for the digital skills certification tests is done through the tu.CertiCyL website.
