Boost the country's digitization process, encouraging the adoption of new technologies by an increasingly large pool of citizens. With this ambitious goal, TIM launches "Operazione Risorgimento Digitale", a major digital education project for Italy that will reach 1 million people through training courses spread across all 107 Italian provinces. The initiative was presented in Rome during an event attended by the Minister of Innovation Paola Pisano, the Minister for Public Administration Fabiana Dadone, the Minister for Regional Affairs and Autonomies Francesco Boccia, the Extraordinary Commissioner for the implementation of the Digital Agenda Luca Attias and the Chief Executive Officer of TIM Luigi Gubitosi.
A delegation of the mayors of the municipalities involved in the initiative also took part in the event. An extensive training program led by the TIM Academy that leverages over 400 TIM trainers who will offer over 20 hours of lessons by the end of 2020, involving associations, community centers and local meetings, sports centers and senior citizens' centres, with the aim of spread the digital skills necessary to access the great opportunities offered by the Internet. This will mainly involve people who have remained outside the digital economy and with greater need to be supported in their digital education journey, to learn how to surf the net, communicate and use digital citizenship services, such as for example sending a certified email, changing the general practitioner with Spid and pay for a certificate with the pagoPA system. Particular attention will also be paid to training for companies, with a focus on SMEs, through dedicated sessions hosted within the TIM Academy offices.
“We are particularly pleased to announce – he commented the Chief Executive Officer of TIM, Luigi Gubitosi -, on the eve of Internet Day, this important project with which TIM goes to meet people in the area to teach them how to use the Internet and new technologies. We thus intend to offer a great path of digital inclusion which aims to extend, to those who have been excluded up to now, the dissemination of the skills and knowledge necessary to take advantage of the numerous opportunities that the digital transformation in progress will offer more and more in our daily lives".
