Workforce Development Strategies by Minority Serving Institutions
As states begin to implement the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, NTIA and states are working to ensure that there is a skilled and ready workforce to address forthcoming construction needs for high-speed Internet deployment. Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) are getting ready for this demand by developing apprenticeship and training programs to equip students with the skills they need to access higher and better paying jobs that will also support critical Internet infrastructure. This webinar will feature grantees from NTIA's Connecting Minority Communities Pilot (CMC) Program and showcase how MSIs deliver successful projects that support communities in their expansion of high-speed Internet and job opportunities for all.
If you would like to request an accommodation to participate in this webinar, please email your request to InternetForAll@ntia.gov by August 12. An NTIA staff member will follow up with you shortly regarding your request.
