SUMMARY:FBA Presents - You Can't Bridge the Digital Divide — Without Closing the Fiber Skills Gap
DESCRIPTION:As BEAD funding approaches\, the race is on to build the skilled fiber workforce needed to close the digital divide. This webinar brings together industry experts from Clearfield\, Lumen\, and Ciena to discuss how technician training fuels economic growth\, empowers individuals and their communities\, and ensures broadband projects succeed. We’ll explore challenges in recruiting\, preparing\, and retaining talent—especially in rural and hard-to-reach areas. Clearfield will also provide background to a new training initiative designed specifically for Native American communities\, creating pathways for local residents to gain certification\, opening up living-wage jobs opportunities\, and with the ultimate goal of tribal lands connected with high-speed fiber broadband. \nPresented by: \n \n\n\n		\n					\n				Register Now
