Neukölln Launches Free Digital Skills Training for Job Seekers

For residents, job seekers, and local professionals in Neukölln, digital competency is an increasingly important part of the modern labor market. Whether you are looking to refine your proficiency in standard office software or are interested in acquiring new technical skills such as programming and web creation, the district hosts several publicly supported programs designed to meet these needs.

Accessible Digital Advice and Support

Residents seeking immediate assistance with digital devices or software can access the free 'Digital-Zebra' service. This initiative operates at the Helene-Nathan-Bibliothek, located at Karl-Marx-Straße 66, and the Gertrud-Junge-Bibliothek at Bat-Yam-Platz 1. According to program details, these service hours include Mondays from 11:00 to 13:00, and Tuesdays from 11:00 to 13:00 and again from 15:00 to 19:00.

For those looking for a more sustained environment to practice digital skills, the 'Weltenbummler' Senior Internet Café, located within the Bürgerzentrum Neukölln at Werbellinstraße 42, provides individual support for digital skill development. This facility is available for residents from Monday through Thursday, between 10:00 and 14:00.

Professional Development and Media Competence

For those targeting specific professional advancement, the LernLaden Neukölln at Karl-Marx-Straße 131 offers a 'Digitales Lernzentrum'. This center provides structured courses focusing on general media competence as well as programming for all target groups. Those interested in enrollment or further information regarding current course availability can reach the facility by phone at 030 68 05 43 77.

In addition to these specialized hubs, the Volkshochschule (VHS) Neukölln serves as a primary provider of education in the district. They offer publicly funded, low-cost courses that cover essential professional skills, including MS Office suite management, web creation, and programming. These courses are held at various locations throughout the district, making them an accessible option for workers and those seeking to enter the workforce who require formal training certificates or structured learning paths.

Resources for Targeted Learning

Beyond general professional development, specific community programs exist to bridge the digital gap for different age cohorts. The AWO 'Digital Café', hosted at the Helene-Nathan-Bibliothek, is specifically designed for seniors over the age of 60. Held every second Monday from 16:00 to 17:30, the café requires no registration or prior technical knowledge and provides loaned devices to participants. By leveraging these existing local resources, professionals and job seekers in the district can effectively enhance their digital literacy in a supportive, locally grounded environment.
