T Oakville Public Library looking for adult, teen volunteers for digital literacy assistance program Candidates should have a sound knowledge of computer systems and mobile devices, and demonstrate patience, understanding and respect while helping customers who have limited tech experience. If you're wondering why digital literacy has become so important, here are a few facts from the Statistics Canada 2010 report, Intensity of Internet Use in Canada and Ontario Literacy Coalition 2010 report Digital Literacy and Essential Skills. · About 80 per cent of jobs are now listed online rather than in the newspaper -- those outside the digital bubble are increasingly at risk of being cut off · More than half of today's jobs require technology skills, and it is estimated nearly 80 per cent of jobs in the next decade will require digital skills · Nearly 48 per cent of Canadians score at level one or two on the five­level prose literacy scale, and do not have the digital literacy skills to fully participate in the economy As a result of this digitization, `offline' Canadians are missing out on opportunities in education, healthcare and employment.
