The e-Rider Training project is an expansion of the existing Wellington e-Rider programme part-funded through the CPF. As a new project in its own right, it will increase the capability of the voluntary groups to use ICT, and build individual skills and confidence so that volunteers can better utilise ICT in the course of their groups’ community work, and if necessary move on to more formal courses run by mainstream (tertiary) providers.
The project will focus on developing and providing ICT training targeted at the needs of small- to medium-sized community groups and housing tenants in the Wellington region.

e-Rider is a project aimed at providing community groups and organisations with IT advice and support geared to their special needs. The project grew from the fact that, while these organisations use IT facilities in their work, they may not have all the skills required to evaluate their needs. In many cases the lack of financial resources also limited their ability to pay market rates for IT support.
