Nex-Tech is supporting a new train-the-trainer, volunteer-led effort to address the broadband knowledge and affordability gap in Kansas. It is called the Digital Ambassadors Program. The program seeks to increase digital literacy and skills among Kansas citizens.

The program will involve Adult Digital Ambassadors working one-on-one with local citizens to assist with broadband access and skill training. A core group of trained Digital Ambassadors made up of extension specialists and agents will provide Digital Ambassadors training to local staff and volunteers.

As a leader in technology in Kansas, Nex-Tech is part of the program’s advisory committee. Nex-Tech will offer insights and advice to help make the program a success.
