To help senior citizens embrace infocomm in their daily lives, IDA launched the Silver Gen PC Specials and Silver PC Incentive Programme in August 2010 to encourage IT training and spur PC ownership among senior citizens.

In Silver Gen PC Specials, IDA-appointed vendors will offer PC bundles at special prices exclusively to senior citizens. On top of that, for senior citizens who complete minimally 30 hours of IT training at IDA-appointed Silver Infocomm Junctions (SIJs), they will be able to enjoy a S$100 off when they purchase a PC bundle under the Silver Gen PC Specials, as training incentive in the Silver PC Incentive Programme. The redemption of training incentive is valid for eligible senior citizens before 31 March 2013.
