"We must employ innovative strategies and solutions to give everyone access to the technology and skills necessary to thrive in today's digital world," GII President and CEO Steve Preston said about the digital training.
The announcement points to the National Skills Foundation finding that 92% of current job listings require digital skills, creating a significant challenge for workers lacking these abilities.
Almost one-third of workers from 16- to 64-years of age have limited or no digital skills, which poses a significant barrier in the modern job market.
Half of Black workers and 57% of Hispanic workers lack 'robust' digital skills, highlighting the racial disparities in digital readiness and employment opportunities.
