Empowering Individuals on Low Income (360G-SCVO-a11b000000Eta2WAAR)
This project will build into the current benefits assessment & support process the ability for CAB staff and volunteers to be able to research their client's basic digital skills competences, and therefore their ability to undertake online matters, and assess whether they would benefit from learning opportunities to improve their capacity and capability to manage their affairs. Clients will receive tailormade digital skills training enabling them to report a higher level of knowledge and ability to manage their affairs with particular regard to UC and Benefits. A self-help guide for individuals on the basic essential actions that are required to ensure a benefit claim remains “in payment” is also planned. Sessions will be individual, group work and a mix of appointment based, drop in and also in prominent locations. They aim to train and recruit 50 volunteers, hopefully from the beneficiary group, who will ensure that the work carries on after the money is spent. Training resources will be produced and adopted by staff and volunteers in order to see the assessment of basic digital skills underpinning their day-to-day operations. The project will be delivered across the Highlands.
