Rural Cybersecurity & Telehealth Workforce Academy

This public peer networking program brings Digital Navigators across Eastern North Carolina together to strengthen digital literacy, expand access, and support community-led solutions. Participants will share field-tested practices for digital skills training, workforce technology support, outreach in rural and underserved areas, and referrals for affordable internet services. Collaborative sessions also address cybersecurity education, resource coordination, and ways to use DSOS initiatives such as the Mobile Computer Lab and NC 211 partnerships. By the end, participants will have practical tools, peer connections, and an action plan for serving their communities more effectively.
