Why Human‑Centred Technology Training Matters More Than Ever
In a world where technology evolves faster than most people can keep up, the real challenge isn’t learning software — it’s overcoming fear, uncertainty, and the belief that “I’m too old” or “I’ll never get this.”
For more than 22 years, Jackie Thomas, founder of Comp‑U‑Train, has been proving the opposite. Her work spans South Africa and Swaziland, from training 100 factory workers who had never touched a computer, to helping elderly clients connect with family overseas, to empowering job seekers to finally land the roles they’ve dreamed of. Her clients range from age 6 to 86, and her long‑term relationships — many lasting over a decade — speak to the trust she builds.
What makes Jackie’s approach different is her blend of emotional intelligence, spirituality, practical business strategy, and deep technical knowledge. With qualifications in Microsoft Office (MOUS), secretarial studies, bookkeeping, and experience in project management and speech recognition tools, she brings a holistic understanding of how people learn and how businesses operate.
Her training is never generic. She creates custom templates, filing systems, SOPs, assessments, and productivity tools that help companies run more efficiently. She uplifts individuals with patience, clarity, and personalised notes that clients use long after the session ends.
Most importantly, Jackie restores confidence, dignity, and independence — the true foundations of digital empowerment.
In a world driven by technology, human‑centred training isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. And Jackie has mastered it.
