<p /> <p /> <p>The Digital Jobcentres project will modernise the Jobcentre digital
infrastructure. From now until the end of October, we will be installing WiFi and
new Web Access Devices (WADs) across the Jobcentre network.</p><p> </p><p>These WADs
will enable claimants to access Universal Jobmatch and other job sites, as well as
allowing them to apply directly for vacancies that they find. The purpose of this
new equipment is to help those who have no access to digital technology elsewhere.</p><p>
</p><p>WiFi will be available across the entire Jobcentre network by the end of October.</p><p>
</p><p>We will also be replacing around 2,300 Customer Access Phones with a new Assisted
Service for claimants who attend the Jobcentre and are unable to access DWP services
without our help. The Assisted Service is face-to-face and includes controlled use
of a telephone. Support is tailored to the individual's needs.</p>
