The City’s digital equity goals include deploying computers and Internet service to job seekers who don’t have a computer with Internet at home, and providing digital literacy training to address both the digital divide and the racial employment gap in Minneapolis.  The CTEP AmeriCorps Member will help implement the program with employment service agencies, provide follow up services with participants and provide customized computer training and mentoring.  In addition, the Member will implement programs with neighborhood and community organizations to help close the digital divide.

The education award can be used to pay educational expenses at qualified institutions of higher education, for educational training, or to repay qualified student loans.
