From applying for benefits to renewing your driver’s license or passport, most interactions with the government are handled online. Many people find this difficult because they lack sufficient digital skills. They can turn to the Digital Government Information Center (IDO). Here, they receive assistance—free of charge and without requiring membership—or are referred to one of the partner organizations. The Digital Government Information Point (IDO) aims to promote digital skills among adults. IDO is located at the CODA Central Library and in the neighborhood branches. For these support centers, we are looking for an enthusiastic, decisive, and pragmatic digital inclusion project leader. The Digital Inclusion Project Leader is responsible for coordinating the various projects, partner organizations, and program offerings. Together with the PR team, you will ensure that the program is widely known and that it is organized efficiently and effectively. In addition, through programming and projects, you will foster connections between IDO, Taalhuis Apeldoorn, and partner organizations.
