Adult learners must have strong digital literacy skills in order to transition into postsecondary education, job training, or careers. The ALRC provides training and technical assistance to instructors and program administrators to provide up-to-date digital literacy instruction to adult learners. In most programs, digital skill instruction is woven throughout content instruction rather than taught in stand-alone computer skills classes. 

For current offerings, please see the ICCB PD Course Catalog.
