Description

A digital literacy instructor teaches adults the practical computer, internet, and software skills they need for work and daily life. They teach everything from basic computer use and email to navigating the web, using common software, online safety, and the digital tasks modern life requires, often working with older adults, job seekers, or people new to technology.

The work is patient, practical, and increasingly essential as daily life goes digital. Instructors work at libraries, community centers, nonprofits, and adult education programs.

The job suits patient, encouraging, tech-comfortable people who enjoy demystifying technology, want to close the digital divide, and find reward in helping people gain the digital skills that open up work and participation in modern life.
