Abstract: With the infusion of $45 billion in federal funds through the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Act and Digital Equity Act over the next five years, states are entering a time of opportunity for closing the digital divide for families. However, there is also an urgent need to strengthen their broadband workforce. Without a prepared workforce, states will be unable to effectively leverage available federal funds or maintain their systems over time. This toolkit provides state policymakers with key steps to strengthen their broadband workforce as well as resources to support those efforts. To support these steps, states can also seek out and build on the expertise of industry partners and develop or enhance collaborations between the public, private, and educational sectors. The key steps are: (1) Identify State-Specific Needs; (2) Leverage Industry Expertise to Build or Improve Education and Training Programs; (3) Provide Training and Support for Educators; (4) Coordinate Federal and State Funding Streams; and (5) Raise Awareness for Broadband Careers.
