Our Mission
DigiGig prepares residents in rural communities for the future of work by teaching professional-level digital literacy skills, modern communication tools and personal productivity habits needed to thrive in the modern economy. It bridges the opportunity gap when it helps citizens adapt their skill-sets to the digital economy in order to take advantage of nationwide opportunities for middle skilled jobs.
Leadership
Our programs are taught by professionals who have been in your shoes. All of our instructors have also had to learn new ways of communication, adapt to new web-based workflow tools and understand how to make the most of the internet to achieve our goals.
The program was developed by Heather Furby and John Lorance.
