Sounds as though you have to help folk get more friends on Facebook
It would be great if a Nairn person was appointed
Well whoever wrote that obviously swallowed a dictionary.

Thanks for promoting the job.
It is all about encouraging people who are not online, or are unsure about technology, to have a go.
Securing the funding requires a diet of dictionaries, but doing the job is all about keeping it simple!
Fingers crossed we can find the perfect person.
Thanks again.
Thank you Jane. Here at the Gurn we are aware of people across Nairn informally learning how to use PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones to meet their digital needs.
They seem to prefer to ask family, friends or neighbours for help before going to official classes. What makes you confident they would be willing to be matched up with strangers to learn new skills.?
Hi Graisg,
I am delighted to hear that family and friends are helping people get online, and part of what we do is support and encourage that by providing great training resources so that it is as easy as possible to show someone who has never done it before.
We also try to stay away from "official classes" as you described them, and have informal and fun sessions - with no tests or homework!
The new Project Officer will be encouraged to develop new and fun ways of encouraging people in Nairn to try digital technology, that appeals to local individuals and existing groups. All ideas are welcome, as we have a very flexible approach to our digital inclusion projects.
Jane
