SUMMARY:FFB Week 46 - A Practitioner’s Guide to Rural Digital Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:As the broadband industry’s focus shifts from deployment to adoption\, ensuring rural residents have the tools and confidence to fully engage in the digital economy is critical. True inclusion goes beyond connectivity—it requires affordable devices\, hands-on digital skills training (including AI literacy)\, and ongoing community support. When these elements come together\, rural communities can transform connectivity into opportunity—fueling new jobs\, entrepreneurship\, and long-term local prosperity. \nIn this week’s episode\, Adam Dewbury\, Ph.D.\, Researcher and Shaniqua Corley-Moore\, Head of Tech Talent Development\, join Gary Bolton\, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association\, to share evidence-based strategies and best practices for advancing digital inclusion. They’ll explore how tailored interventions can empower key groups—low-income households\, women\, students\, older adults\, veterans\, racial and ethnic minorities\, individuals with language barriers\, and people with disabilities—to thrive in an increasingly digital world. \nWith Special Guests: \n \n		\n					\n				Register Now
