Broadband Breakfast’s Speeding BEAD Summit will bring the key stakeholders together to consider the central issues around BEAD.

TIA's Melissa Newman speaking on panel:

Building, Maintaining and Adopting Digital Workforce Skills 

By whatever name, successful broadband deployment efforts require digital adoption and digital training. For one, artificial intelligence has created a new need for AI Skills Training. This session will explore how workforce training initiatives - creating, maintaining and adopting digital skills - encompass the full spectrum of competencies needed for the digital infrastructure economy. How should training programs integrate AI literacy? How do networking, infrastructure deployment, customer service, and cybersecurity skills play a part? How can workforce programs funded through BEAD ensure that communities thrive in the digital future?
