We are grateful for the assistance that Keara has offered to our community since joining Americorps. If you’re looking for a rewarding position to help your community, they are currently accepting applications for a Benewah County Digital Navigator.

From big groups to individuals, the ACC AmeriCorps Digital Navigators serving communities across Idaho under the Digital Economy Program are happy to help encourage and assist those seeking to expand their digital skills. Keara, the ACC Member in Benewah County, recently partnered with Community Action Partnership to do a series of training classes for a senior couple in her community.

Keara specifically tailored their curriculum in Northstar in order to prepare them for employment in the current job market, as both plan to begin a job search in the near future. Her efforts were fruitful as both passed assessments and earned certificates in the courses they took!

If you're considering re-entering the workforce after a break, we've got a variety of course path options to help you upskill and prepare for today's employment market! Check out our website at https://www.uidaho.edu/extension/digital-economy for our current courses, and contact us at [email protected] to learn about or register for Northstar digital skills classes.
