Project Description |
Status |
| 6.1 |
Continue to develop the network of UK online centres,
and as part of this, work with UK online centres to
help them develop sustainability strategies by examining
their potential to be:
- a gateway to basic skills training and a pathway
to more structured learning (e.g. learndirect);
- a signpost to services aimed at small businesses
(e.g. UK online for business);
- an introduction to e-Government services (e.g. through
ukonline.gov.uk);
- points of access to new media-rich broadband services;
and
- part of a pilot programme, in partnership with the
private sector, to test the feasibility of a national
network of teleworking centres
