Digital Access: Targeted Strategies for Reaching Underserved Populations
About
Access to computers and broadband is not a given for many of those in underserved communities; nor is the technical knowhow to use applications that are often foundational to entry into today’s job market. Oregon's Trade staff has begun a pilot for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) participants, who are also part of underserved communities, to provide computer hardware, internet access, and training to help ensure successful and sustainable reemployment.
