National Coalition for Literacy Discussion List
View all threadsHello NCL colleagues,
Since the pandemic began, National Skills Coalition has heard from hundreds
of adult education providers about the digital inclusion issues that their
learners and staff are encountering. I'm sure it comes as no surprise to
any of you that broadband access, lack of digital devices, and digital
literacy skill gaps have all surfaced as major issues.
Today, we published a blog post
https://www.nationalskillscoalition.org/news/blog/federal-government-allows-use-of-tanf-snap-et-wioa-funds-to-support-digital-inclusion
with information on new federal guidance that can help these providers use
funding from several different sources to pay for digital inclusion. While
our post discusses TANF, SNAP E&T, and WIOA, perhaps the most notable piece
is about how states and localities can use their federal CARES Act (Covid
relief legislation passed back in March).
Please share with your networks as appropriate. Thank you in advance!
