How do we develop and scale equitable pathways to jobs in infrastructure, technology, and cyber. New legislation in the US has mobilized a need for a more skilled workforce to improve Internet infrastructure, workforce development programs, and local capacity-building initiatives for socio-economic development.
My Lighting Talk will explore ways and means that communities are trying to create a more skilled workforce:1) Training Programs, that include hands-on assistance, 2) Mentorship, 3) Apprenticeship, 4) Dissemination of information across communities, and 5) Networking opportunities.
