Grant Overview
Connecticut's aging population presents a significant challenge in terms of digital literacy, with over 17% of residents aged 65 or older. The state's infrastructure, including its extensive network of libraries and community centers, provides a foundation for digital literacy programs. However, the capacity of these organizations to deliver effective training is often limited by workforce shortages and outdated technology. Funding for digital literacy programs prioritizes initiatives that target seniors in underserved communities, such as those in Waterbury and New Haven. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, libraries, and community centers with experience in senior programming. To be successful, applicants must demonstrate a clear understanding of the capacity gaps in their target region and a plan for addressing them. Connecticut's unique requirement for digital literacy programs is the incorporation of training on online safety and cybersecurity, given the state's high rate of cybercrime targeting seniors. Unlike neighboring states, Connecticut's programs must also comply with strict data protection regulations to safeguard senior personal data. ## Capacity Building in Connecticut's Digital Literacy ## Organizations must assess their capacity to deliver digital literacy programs effectively, including their technology infrastructure and workforce expertise. ## Digital Literacy in Connecticut's Aging Population ## The state's aging population requires targeted digital literacy programs that address their unique needs and concerns.
