I’m a Craven County resident who finished DSOS’s Telehealth Basics class and booked my first online doctor visit the same week. The instructor walked me through logging in, checking my camera, and sharing my medical history. I saved a 90‑minute round trip and felt confident on the call. DSOS serves Craven, Carteret, Pamlico, Beaufort, and Washington Counties with practical digital training that reduces travel, improves access to care, and opens clearer job prospects.

I’m sharing what a DSOS training journey looks like for someone in Eastern North Carolina. We start with a simple welcome and needs check, then move through three core tracks: cybersecurity awareness, telehealth navigation, and workforce readiness. Trainings happen in community centers and partner sites to reduce travel and broadband barriers. We teach practical steps — setting up secure passwords, joining a telehealth visit, and building a resume or interview plan — so participants leave with usable skills and next steps. DSOS serves communities across Eastern North Carolina and tailors support for seniors, veterans, caregivers, and adults shifting careers. Learn more and join a session: https://wix.to/Ozcqlof .

We share three simple cybersecurity steps to protect your health and job searches in rural North Carolina. 1) Use strong, unique passwords and a password manager to protect accounts. 2) Connect to telehealth only on secure Wi‑Fi or your mobile network and verify providers before sharing medical info. 3) Pause and check messages and links—scammers target job seekers and patients.
