Earlier this month, Miami Dade College convened an engaging discussion with FloridaCommerce, focusing on broadband workforce development. The meeting underscored the importance of digital connectivity in shaping the future of work and ensuring that Florida remains a leader in higher education and workforce development. State efforts like the Broadband Opportunity Program, administered by FloridaCommerce, focus on funding the installation and deployment of broadband infrastructure. The state’s commitment to bridging the digital gap and its substantial investment in Miami Dade College will help keep our campuses connected and foster a more inclusive and equitable educational landscape.
This investment empowers faculty and students to work, play, study, and thrive in Miami-Dade County. By ensuring that all students have access to high-speed internet, Florida is investing not only in education but also in the future of the local workforce and the overall prosperity of our communities. Institutions like Miami Dade College offer a range of online certifications and degree programs that help individuals acquire new skills or transition into new careers. Reliable digital connectivity is crucial for these learning opportunities and particularly important for non-traditional students who may be balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Miami Dade College applauds the state for its forward-thinking approach and dedication to providing the necessary funding to bridge the digital gap for our students. This commitment to digital connectivity lays the foundation for a brighter future, allowing all Floridians to reach their full potential.
