Establishing Statewide Connectivity

Text

Indiana's economy is driven by digital connectivity, which is also essential for academic achievement. It promotes improved public health, strengthens social bonds, advances business, and reunites loved ones. But not everyone has inexpensive, dependable internet access.

Text

Many Indianans lack the digital skills necessary to pursue a career and do not have access to devices. Their participation in the digital economy and employment opportunities are restricted by this deficit.

Text

The state can address the issues of internet access, affordability, and digital literacy head-on with the help of resources and grant funds that are currently available. This will allow all Indianans to fully engage in the digital economy and enjoy its advantages. Everyone in Indiana will live in a more prosperous and connected state if the digital divide is closed.
