64-BIT computing is proud to be an official partner of the Race Online 2012, a land mark national campaign aiming to get the UK as close to 100% internet enabled by London Olympics. We are working together to help train and inspire people to get on line for the first time.

More than 10 million adults across the UK have never used the internet, and worryingly 4 million of this group are also socially excluded. All of them are missing out on the opportunities and cost efficiencies that the web has to offer.

Joining some of the UK’s most influential household names including Talk Talk, Comet, Skype and McDonald’s, Microsoft, Money Supermarket, Google, Sky, BT and 64-BIT computing, will deliver help and training to clients and first time user along with offering help in the local Swansea community to coincide with Silver surfs day on Friday the 21st of May, Adult Learners Week 15 - 22 May 2010, itea and biscuits event 20 – 24 September and Get online week 18th October.

There are three simple reasons to get involved:

1. Financial – with more people online, business can save time and money through e-commerce, e-billing, online recruitment and more.
2. HR – online training for employees and /or their friends and family creates a more motivated and productive workforce.
3. CSR – Race Online 2012 will create a more skilled workforce and a more connected society, which in turn will attract investment and create opportunities for business and entrepreneurs.
