Helping Job Seekers in the Digital Age

The PPL Learning Center has been home to an open computer lab providing resources and volunteer support to job seekers since 2005. For the last five years, Ken Kraemer has been a dedicated volunteer there, driven by his desire to help people attain employment and bridge the digital divide. Ken works alongside nine other volunteers who serve weekly in the Computer Access Lab at the PPL Learning Center. This community of volunteers is expected to grow with the recent opening of PPL’s Hamline Station Employment Services Center, which hosts a similar lab. PPL is thrilled to extend services to job seekers in the Hamline-Midway area; please spread the word and feel free to stop by to check out the new space!
