Community ICT Project
New ICT Helpline Launched
VODA is one of four
organisations hosting the Circuit Riders North East project, which is
co-ordinated by VONNE. This new, exciting scheme aims to help groups who
are wrestling with the complexities of ICT strategies, budgets and
maintenance, and assist with day-to-day computing and internet use. As
part of Circuit Riders, VODA?s ICT project has launched a new telephone
helpline for organisations experiencing non-emergency technical
problems.
Open between 9am and 11am, Monday to Thursday, the number to call is
07875 935 148*.
VODA?s ICT Project
will also be organising a range of full and half-day workshops looking
at imaginative ways that the voluntary organisations can use ICT.

Workforce
Development Training
An exciting new training partnership between North
Tyneside VODA and North Tyneside Council's Adult Learning Alliance has
been developed to deliver workforce development ICT training in Community
Learning Centres around the borough. This includes the delivery of ITQs
to Voluntary and Community sector and council employees and volunteers.
This partnership follows on from the hugely successful Community
Learning Centre Project, initiated and managed by VODA from 2001-2006, whereby over 3,000 members of the community registered for ICT
skills, some gaining certificates for the very first time.
Vocality
Project
The North Tyneside Arts and Crafts website
www.ntaac.org.uk is now live and
being used as a resource for tutors and learners in North Tyneside and
way beyond. The website was a produce of North Tyneside VODA's Vocality
Project, which aimed to introduce E-Learning to anybody who delivers
training as part of their role.
Technical Support
The project provides technical assistance to over 20 Community Learning
Centres in the Borough and advice is available to help new groups to
determine their ICT needs.
