By: Sunnie Dawn Baker 

On Wednesday, April 24^th, the Ada Jobs Foundation (AJF) hosted an Education Roundtable Workshop related to their Digital Skilling Initiative in partnership with the Center on Rural Innovation (CORI) and Ascendium. Justin Cooks, the Tech Jobs Program Manager, and Mike Gutman, the Workforce Development Manager, led the workshop as representatives from CORI. This represents one of the critical steps toward building a program that will provide crucial training to Ada’s tech workforce, enabling them to fill good jobs and empowering them to expand their employment possibilities.
