Connecting the Dots: Linking Broadband Adoption to Job Creation and Job Competitiveness

Source: National Urban League

From the publication web page:

This report focuses on how to connect broadband adoption to job creation and job competitiveness in a way that is targeted, efficient and results-driven -- this is not a theoretical effort or a magic bullet solution, but rather, a collection of practical ideas that brings together all the elements of success like workforce training, facilitating private enterprise development and modernizing the STEM education pipeline. Our report includes case studies from Urban League affiliates that have implemented some of these ideas.
