Building thriving broadband networks requires more than just infrastructure—workforce development is a vital piece of the puzzle.
If you are engaged or will soon be involved in expanding our nation’s broadband infrastructure to ensure widespread connectivity, you or the organizations you work with will face the challenge of a shortage of skilled labor. This month’s speaker introduces a valuable resource to add to your toolkit for strengthening the broadband workforce.
To address this need and support rural communities in developing the necessary workforce, the Telecommunications Industry Association, in collaboration with Fierce Networks, has launched Broadband Nation as a valuable resource designed to attract, educate, and connect individuals with promising career opportunities in the rapidly evolving broadband sector. We encourage you to explore the portal and discover opportunities and marketing toolkits for your organization.
RuralRISE hosted Urvi Shah, Senior Director of Marketing Communications at the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), as part of our Speaker Series to introduce Broadband Nation, discussing Building the Future in Rural Communities: The Vital Role of Workforce Development in Expanding Broadband Access.
