our visionSeniors Tech Services aims to make life easier for discerning seniors living independently or away from home by giving them the training and knowledge they need to use basic computers and other tech devices.
We also believe age should not be a barrier to employment and work tirelessly to help mature employees learn new computer and office skills to compete for office jobs in a dynamic and technology driven age. In addition, we provide innovative digital marketing solutions for small business. This includes websites, social media and help with your e-commerce online store. We look forward to a time when every senior and mature adult is able to enjoy the benefits of technology without feeling intimidated or lacking basic computer skills. Our aim is to deliver this service with maturity, patience, and skill with highly experienced, full time tutors. |
our missionSeniors Tech Services seeks to train seniors across Canada to have the knowledge you need to survive and thrive in the age of technology.
We want to empower you with the skills and devices that can transform your life in a positive way to help you achieve every day functions easily, to make your life more comfortable, and connect them with family, friends and the rest of society in real time. Through technology we want you, our precious seniors, to feel that you are part of society and not a fringe group and have a voice. Our mission is simple: we want to give you the skills to be confident and productive using your computer, and to give you skills that enable you to use new apps, devices, and software that are now common in the technological age. This will help to better communicate with the world around you and understand it better and enjoy a better quality of life. |
