NCWIT works with computing and technical leaders in the region to identify skill sets and training opportunities that align with employers’ needs. The end goal is to offer a diverse menu of online and in-person choices for those who qualify regardless of their location or schedule. These opportunities will be paid through the Digital Skills grant at no cost to the participant.
