Digital for Life

Ensuring everyone can enrich their lives through digital and lifelong learning

Digital for Life – Embrace digital learning. Enrich your life.

Digital for Life (DfL) is a national movement that strengthens digital inclusion in Singapore so that everyone can enjoy the benefits that technology brings. Through the combined efforts of corporates, community groups, government, and individuals, DfL promotes digital adoption by helping Singaporeans improve their digital literacy and digital skills. DfL was launched in 2021 at the President’s Challenge to build a digitally inclusive society where digital technologies and opportunities are accessible to all, with no one left behind. The patron for DfL is President Tharman Shanmugaratnam.

Programmes supporting the DfL movement are tailored to facilitate quick and easy digital adoption for the elderly. If you are a senior, island-wide personalised coaching is available for you to learn essential digital skills such as setting up your smart devices, communicating and transacting online, exploring information online, and being smart, safe, and kind online.

As Singapore’s next generation of leaders, youths play an integral role in our nation’s digitalisation journey. Our DfL initiative fuels their passion for all things technology-related by offering them easy and early access to digital skills training, as well as creating opportunities for you to explore and develop your tech talents.

Youth

Youths passionate about technology can develop their digital skills, stay up to date with the latest technology trends, and chart an exciting tech career path.

Initiatives like the curated Value-In-Action projects provide opportunities for the Infocomm Media Club members to learn from industry leaders and eventually teach others confidently. If you are a Club member, you can also volunteer at events that support DfL.
