Are you Digitally Fluent?
New training program is available now! Read the course information below and Register.

Being Digitally Fluent means being comfortable working in a digital environment. It means adapting to and embracing new technologies and knowing where to go for help when you need it. To be digitally fluent as an organization we must have a common language to understand basic concepts in technology. Digital fluency is important because technology is more and more embedded in the way we provide care to our members. At KP we need to enhance these critical skills so that when change happens we are ready and able to change with it.

The Digital Fluency course is a learning platform which should take 4-6 hours to complete.
