FÁS, in partnership with the Sligo County Library Service, are delighted to introduce the ‘FÁS eLearning at the Library Project’ to the Sligo and Tubbercurry libraries. This learning programme has been developed by FÁS for people with little or no IT skills as well as those with some basic IT skills.The E-Learning at the library initiative aims to attract those who would like to develop their PC/IT Skills in a supported workshop environment in areas such as Introduction to Computing, Internet Use and Email. Progression to complete online courses such as ECDL, Health & Safety, Finance Fundamentals, and Microsoft Word/Excel (as well as many others) is wholly encouraged and supported.
A number of courses are available for free on-line at Sligo local libraries! Once a learner has become comfortable with the computer basics through practical library workshops, they will be registered on a suitable course and can then begin working from home if they wish. All you need to have is a computer and a broadband connection.
E-Learning at the library is a wonderful opportunity for people to develop and improve their IT skills at a pace that suits them. Each leaner will be assigned a FÁS facilitator who will help leaner’s to get to grips with computer and Internet basics through the use of workshops. The FÁS facilitator will help each learner to choose the right course and will introduce them to the dedicated E-Learning website. They will also be on hand to help learners with any difficulties that might arise.
