Jewish Family Services expands digital workplace program
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Jewish Family Services celebrated an expansion of their digital skills for the workplace program on Wednesday.
The program helps train residents in the local community, teaching them important technical skills for free. They offer one-on-one digital coaching for older adults and beginner-level computer instruction.
CEO Karen Mozenter explained now they can expand their services throughout central Ohio thanks to a $65,000 contribution from AT&T. 'We've had a multi-sector collaboration that's been working, really formed during the Pandemic, and has continued to work,'Mozenter said. 'We've been together for five years now and support like partners and funders like AT&T has been critical.'

The overall goal is to advance digital equity and support people in the community, giving them the opportunity to increase their chances for employment and productivity.
'I hope that people today will gain knowledge about the work that's already being done in the community and awareness that this is work that will never be done as technology evolves,' Mozenter said. 'Like right now we're adding A.I. Into the curriculum because we know that's essential, both for job skills and an essential way to use technology.'
The group also wants to continue expanding this program in the future. For more information about this program, click here.
