About This Session

Access to digital resources is essential for learning, employment, and daily life, yet many adults face barriers to connectivity, device access, and digital skills. Digital Navigators play a critical role in bridging this gap by providing guidance and support tailored to adult learners’ needs.

Whether you work in a library, nonprofit, or literacy program, you’ll gain practical strategies to enhance digital upskilling efforts in your community.
Join us to explore real-world insights and discover actionable ways to implement digital navigation services that empower adult learners and strengthen digital upskilling.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to analyze and apply best practices from Digital Navigator programs to develop sustainable, innovative strategies that expand digital access and upskilling opportunities in libraries, nonprofits, and adult education settings.
