How broadband funds can help students and the US workforceThe Staff, Broadband World News, , 6/2/2022
Last week, Broadband World News joined the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) for an event focused on the digital divide in the US – including its impact on students and the US workforce – and how funds and programs in the bipartisan infrastructure law are poised to make a difference. You can watch the event below, including a fireside chat featuring Larry Irving, president of the Irving Group and former NTIA administrator under President Bill Clinton. Irving is also known for coining the phrase "digital divide." That's followed by a panel discussion, moderated by Broadband World News site editor Nicole Ferraro, and featuring: Ji Soo Song, broadband advisor at the US Department of Education; Heather Gate, vice president of digital inclusion for Connected Nation and chair of the FCC's Communications Equity and Diversity Council (CEDC); Rosemary Lahasky, senior director, government affairs, Cengage Group; and Michael Calabrese, director, wireless future program and senior research fellow OTI, New America Foundation.
