LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Dec. 13, 2024) – Spectrum today announced Goodwill Industries of Kentucky has received a $20,000 grant through its 2024 Spectrum Digital Education program. This year, the program is awarding a total of $1.3 million to 66 organizations. Since launching in 2017, Spectrum Digital Education has committed more than $10 million to nonprofits focused on improving digital literacy, workforce development and educational access in unserved and undeserved communities across Charter’s 41-state service area.
“Connectivity is the foundation for meaningful learning, professional growth and human connection, and helps to build strong, thriving communities,” said Heather Day, Area Vice President of Field Operations for Spectrum. “Spectrum Digital Education supports programs that empower community members to enhance their lives with connectivity, from providing digital literacy training to seniors to connecting students with important resources and tools for their education.”
Goodwill Industries of Kentucky helps individuals achieve and maintain employment to gain a better quality of life, break cycles of poverty and succeed on their own. The funding will be used to support Goodwill’s programs to provide digital literacy programs for specific career paths to assist participants in learning valuable skills to find gainful employment.
Spectrum and Goodwill celebrated the grant with a check presentation at a statewide ceremony for the Rise Program’s most recent class of graduates.
“At Goodwill, we recognize that digital literacy is often a significant barrier for many Kentuckians seeking employment,” said Amy Luttrell, Goodwill President and CEO. “We are grateful to have received this grant, which will allow us to strengthen our digital literacy programs and equip job seekers with the essential skills they need to succeed in today’s evolving workforce.”
