SUMMARY:Today's Jobs and Tomorrow's: The importance of Centering Digital Equity

SUMMARY:CLOSING THE DIGITAL SKILL DIVIDE: THE PAYOFF FOR WORKERS\, BUSINESS AND THE ECONOMY
DESCRIPTION:As state policymakers grapple with closing the digital divide and effectively deploying resources from the historic $2.75 billion Digital Equity Act\, National Skills Coalition\, in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta\, has released new research that could help guide the way. \nBased on an analysis of 43 million job postings\, Closing the Digital Divide is a first-ever\, real-time snapshot of digital skill demands in the US labor market. It finds that 92% of jobs require digital skills spanning all industries and occupations. It also finds that states that target public resources toward digital skill building could generate measurable monetary benefits for workers\, small businesses\, and the broader economy. \nJoin us for a conversation with the report authors to learn more about the groundbreaking research and how it can inform digital equity conversations in your state. \n– Amanda Bergson-Shilcock\, Senior Fellow\, National Skills Coalition\n– Nye Hodge\, Research Analyst\, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta\n– Roderick Taylor\, Research and Policy Analyst\, National Skills Coalition \nModerated by Rachel Unruh\, Chief of External Affairs\, National Skills Coalition \nDownload Slides \nResources shared by NSC \n\nDigital Equity @ Work Petition: https://secure.everyaction.com/pXKp6xURlkq3_iJp9IgSmw2\nDigital Equity Act State Implementation Policy Recommendations: https://nationalskillscoalition.org/resource/publications/expanding-digital-inclusion-via-the-bipartisan-infrastructure-law/\nHow to get started with the Digital Equity Act: https://nationalskillscoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/4.26-NSC-digital-equity-act-factsheet_v3.pdf\nClosing the Digital Skill Divide Report and Methodology: https://nationalskillscoalition.org/resource/publications/closing-the-digital-skill-divide/

SUMMARY:NSC Fireside Chat: U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm
DESCRIPTION:NSC CEO Andy Van Kleunen joins Secretary Jennifer Granholm to hear how the U.S. Department of Energy is implementing federal investments and partnering with agencies across the government to develop our nation’s clean energy workforce. \nAugust 2022 the Biden Administration passed the Inflation Reduction Act\, making historic investments to protect and improve land\, water\, air\, and health in underserved communities. Along with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the CHIPS and Science Act\, these investments hold the potential to create and transform millions of jobs. The Department of Energy’s focus now is to channel these federal dollars into our local communities\, particularly those that are disadvantaged\, marginalized\, and underserved. These same communities have limited access to high-quality\, inclusive skills training to fill clean energy jobs. \nHear from Secretary Granholm about the steps her agency is taking not only for cleaner\, smarter\, and more affordable energy services\, but to also support high-quality\, inclusive skills training that will leverage the talent of America’s workers to power a clean energy future. \nModerator: Andy Van Kleunen\, CEO\, National Skills Coalition \nFeatured Guest: U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm\, U.S. Department of Energy
