Our Work
82% of middle-skill jobs require digital skills.
Digital skills are a springboard to in-demand jobs that pay $20+/hr for workers with a diploma and no degree.
Universal access ensures that everyone belongs.
Life happens online. Digital services are integral to life, work, and learning. A just society demands we have equal access to the internet.
When care goes online, 4 of 5 older adults do too.
Tech-enabled healthcare connects older adults to preventive services and supports caregivers via smart home apps, making independence possible.
The future depends on a diverse workforce.
Diverse teams create inclusive solutions. We must invest in ideas that integrate tech to promote progress.
Technology is a tool to optimize life.
The “digital divide” limits the world to ‘haves’ and ‘have nots.’ Digital Advancement sees a future where everyone has the tools to thrive.
Infrastructure is not one size fits all.
Communities are shaping new solutions to address how broadband access and adoption affect outcomes from health to wealth.
