Tap into free services to help you get the most out of an internet connection
An internet connection opens the door to online education and jobs — and a better quality of life for those who have them. But without training in digital skills, you can’t use the internet to its full potential. The SOAR Office of Digital Equity fills this gap. It’s funded by the National Digital Inclusion Alliance and offers free digital skills training for residents of Eastern Kentucky.
Access free digital skills training in three steps
Step 1: Access free training to increase your digital literacy
Shaping Our Appalachian Region and the SkillUp Coalition have partnered to offer Eastern Kentucky residents almost 50 short-term national and local training programs — all low-cost or free — through the Eastern Kentucky Training Catalog.
Step 2: Learn to code for free
Now you can train for a remote career in tech right here in our region. Shaping Our Appalachian Region and Code Kentucky have partnered to give Eastern Kentucky residents free training in coding. No previous coding experience is required, just a willingness to work hard and a hunger to learn.
Step 3: Get digital literacy coaching
The SOAR Digital Equity team exists to help residents of Eastern Kentucky harness the full potential of an internet connection. You can schedule time with a team member to get free help with:
