Over 50 and looking to start your own business?
PRIME is holding a FREE computer skills day on Tuesday 20th April 2010 for over 50s in Bournemouth, starting at 9.30am. We are running it in conjunction with a major local employer, with additional support from the EU-funded Interreg Senior Enterprise project. This backing means you will have the opportunity to learn and try out up-do-date ideas in an purpose-built computer training facility with separate workstations for each attendee.
The big advantage of this properly resourced day is that we can adapt the training to the needs and pace of each individual attendee, and to the IT and web topics most relevant to self-employment. Tea, coffee and lunch will be provided. Places are limited to a maximum of 12 – so you are urged to reserve your place now.
Programme:
9.30am to 3pm: Demonstrations, workshop and individual tuition
3pm to 5pm: Q and A, then close.
Topics covered will depend on you, but are likely to include:
- A recap of anything you are unsure about in basic computer terms and Internet technology
- How to use Word and Excel to support your business, using them for invoicing and doing basic self-employed accounts
- Setting up a good web site and then making your potential customers aware of it
- Selling via the Internet and setting up an on-line shop
- Using Twitter and Facebook for business
and whatever else the audience request.
At the end of the course you will be given a handout detailing other local facilities available to support self-employment and your further IT skills learning, and good online resources.
