Free Device and Digital Skills Classes

Somerset Broadband promotes access to the online world in order to equip, teach, and empower residents to connect with jobs, doctors, schools, friends, and resources that help people and communities thrive.

Even with internet access and computer devices, we must ensure that Mainers have the knowledge and the confidence to successfully navigate the devices and the digital world. This is why SEDC is partners with Skowhegan Adult Ed, The National Digital Equity Center and free on demand programs to offer FREE digital skills training classes throughout Somerset County.
