Many people still lack basic computer skills. This makes daily tasks harder. Things like finding jobs or accessing services online become difficult. Google sees this as a major problem. They believe everyone deserves the chance to learn these essential skills. This collaboration aims to bridge that gap.
The program will start in ten major cities. Local community centers will host training sessions. Volunteers from Google and the nonprofits will lead these classes. Topics include internet safety, using email, and searching online effectively. They plan to reach thousands of people in the first year. The materials will be available in multiple languages.
