Louisville's Digital Inclusion Plan
It’s time to remove barriers to success for our citizens who all need digital access, skills and hardware to obtain jobs, earn degrees, and help make Louisville Metro better every day.
Digital Inclusion Transforms Lives
Increasing Mobility and Attainment in Louisville
The Digital Inclusion Plan will increase socioeconomic mobility and job attainment for residents, and it is a starting point for grant applications as Louisville Metro finds new partners to help us achieve the Plan’s goals. To learn more, download the Plan.
Our Goals
Louisville Metro is using the Digital Inclusion Plan to pursue Mayor Fischer’s larger strategic planning goals for our region in a few ways - especially when it comes to jobs, education, and being a more compassionate city. Whether applying for a job, doing homework, or starting a business, all of our residents need digital skills, tools, and connectivity.
1. Jobs
Job growth is important to our whole region. But it’s not enough to say you’re going to create jobs—we want to create high-wage, creative jobs and inspire the curious, active citizens of Louisville. We’re focusing on these high-wage jobs to improve economic outcomes, especially in West Louisville. Louisvillians also need to have technical know-how and computer access to apply for jobs. To achieve these goals, the Digital Inclusion Plan is going to help close gaps in skills and hardware.
2. Education
You can’t talk about job creation and workforce development without talking about education. The Digital Inclusion Plan is going to support Mayor Fischer’s Cradle to Career initiative so that no matter what age, Louisvillians get the training they need to compete in our 21st century economy.
