The Opportunity
To be able to compete and thrive in the digital economy, access to technology and digital literacy are a must. Unfortunately, there are many people in our community who are getting left behind due to their lack of financial ability to pay for internet access, purchase a device, and obtain the necessary education that is needed to compete for the jobs that will greatly improve their financial position.
The journey that begins with technology access and culminates with a good paying job is one that is challenging to do alone. We believe that having a DIGTAL ANGEL to enable this journey significantly increases the odds of success.
