Media Coverage | STEM FEST: Bridging the Digital Divide

Nov 30, 2020

By the end of the decade, over 70% of all jobs in Pennsylvania will be digitized; as you move up the economic ladder, that concentration increases. Digital skills are also more lucrative, paying 17% more than non-digitized counterparts.

Verizon, Neighborhood Allies, and Level Up 412 have all teamed up to make sure the digital divide between communities, age groups, and more is taken care of. Especially with so many people working from home due to the pandemic. Pittsburgh Today Live’s Celina Pompeani spoke with Anthony Harper about the project.
