What is the Digital Navigator Program?

The Digital Navigator program is a Professional Development experience for non-profits and community based organizations that seek to understand digital transformation and be better equipped to deliver on their mission. The virtual four-week cohort based program addresses some of the biggest challenges in the Digital Divide and Empowers participants to serve as Digital Navigators for those they serve who may be struggling with understanding and accessing the resources that are out there to support them. 

The Program starts on Tuesday, April 5th and will go for four weeks from 6-8pm.  

Everyone should have the opportunity to participate in today's increasingly digital economy, but in occupations requiring digital skills, which will represent two thirds of jobs by 2030, many are still under-represented and excluded from benefitting from this growth. Empowering those who work with the most vulnerable members of society will help level the playing field in this digital workforce ecosystem.
