In adopting a tailored approach, aimed at harmonizing the tasks of the Knowledge Stations with the communities’ basic needs and pursuits, the Knowledge Stations have classified their activities under two inter-linked categories: ICT capacity building and skill enhancement on the one hand, and community development and awareness services on the other.
In the field of ICT capacity building and skill enhancement, all citizens, through the Knowledge Stations, are ensured the basic knowledge infrastructure facilities such as personal computers, printers, Internet access, electronic libraries and chat rooms, which are supported by tailored training courses in basic computer literacy, database management, the seven module International Computer Driving License certification and other customized courses that directly address the communities needs.
Leveraging the tools of ICT as a means for enhancing the social and economic stature of the communities, community development and awareness services were complementarily incorporated within the Knowledge Stations agenda. These services aim to familiarize the local communes with the innovative and knowledgeable avenues ICT integration may unravel towards augmenting their businesses, acquiring novel health care information, actively participating in the e-government initiative, expanding their general knowledge and understanding of various societal issues, and most importantly acquiring pioneering and inventive development skills.
