Food Service Technology Mentors
In May 2020, Connected Canadians was awarded an Economic Development Grant from the City of Ottawa, which ran until November 2020. With this funding, Connected Canadians developed a program to retrain three cohorts of food and beverage industry workers affected by the coronavirus pandemic as paid technology mentors for isolated seniors. These mentors are trained on remote support best practices and tools to use with our senior clients, while also allowing them to leverage their past experiences and customer-facing skills from the hospitality industry in their technology mentorship roles. To learn more about some of our mentors, click on their pictures below. Read the program launch press release here.
The program has now wrapped up and the results are in. View the full infographic here.
