The rapid development of digital technologies has put the problems associated with the need to involve people of different ages and professions in the digital environment. The issue is so important that Russia has adopted a new professional standard – a digital curator.
A significant part of the clients with whom digital curators will work are older people, whose proportion is increasing every year in many countries of the world. In the literature, in the context of support of older people in mastering digital space, their cognitive capabilities, motivation, activity in the digital sphere, experiences, social and psychological aspects are considered (Hernandez-Encuentraetal, 2009; Senecka, 2014). However, the problem of psychological readiness of curators to work with older people is new.
The aim of the study is to select the content of the psychological component of digital curators` training. The construct that includes information about the specifics of interaction with older people (cognitive component), formation of a positive attitude to them (motivational component), training in special methods of communication (behavioural component) is proposed.
Sample: 68 older respondents of four age subgroups (age from 58 to 91 years) and 163 young people (age from 15 to 19 years). 
Methods: semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, analysis of results of the training programmes developed by authors for older and young people for cooperation in the field of digital technologies. 
The results of the study showed that the cognitive component of training of curators, in addition to well-known data on typical difficulties and cognitive decline in older people, should include data on the nature of using the Internet in different age subgroups (information search, communication, entertainment, choice of services, display of creative activity, etc.).
Respondents` interviewing revealed intergenerational problems in interaction in mastering the digital environment: intolerance of the younger generation; exaggeration of their health problems; conservatism of older people, etc. 
The results of training sessions for different generations showed the possibility of convergence of their attitudes and identified the most successful ways of learning (discussions, enacting problem situations), which can be used for motivational and behavioural training of digital curators.
