What is the NC Digital Futures Program?


 

Our vision is that in North Carolina, every individual on a farm, in a household, and in business will have the digital skills necessary to EARN, LEARN, BE WELL, and LIVE WELL. By providing individuals with essential digital skills, we strive to close the skills gap and promote economic growth throughout North Carolina.

Led by N.C. Cooperative Extension, the program leverages decades of community-based education experience and a presence in all 100 counties and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Extension Centers serve as vital hubs for digital learning and support.
