The Enterprise Center receives nearly $2 million for its Tech Goes Home program
The funding will allow the Chattanooga-based nonprofit to serve more than 3,300 area residents across Hamilton, Bradley, Polk, McMinn, Marion, Sequatchie, Bledsoe, Rhea, Meigs, and Grundy Counties.
We reported a few weeks ago that Governor Bill Lee and Commissioner Stuart McWhorter of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development had announced $162.7 million in broadband and digital opportunity grants. Among the recipients was The Enterprise Center in Chattanooga.
According to the nonprofit, it will receive nearly $2 million through two different grants for its Tech Goes Home program that provides digital literacy training and workforce development initiatives to respond to the growing importance of digital skills for careers in nearly every field.
“We’re thrilled Tech Goes Home will be able to deepen its work in communities across our region through this investment,” said Deb Socia, the organization’s Chief Executive Officer. “Broadband is essential in 2024 and this ongoing digital equity work is crucial to community connectivity. Since 2015, TGH has reached more than 12,000 Tennesseans and we’re committed to ensuring that every individual has the technology and training they need to succeed.”
The Enterprise Center’s two grant awards, totaling $1,979,965, will serve more than 3,300 area residents across Hamilton, Bradley, Polk, McMinn, Marion, Sequatchie, Bledsoe, Rhea, Meigs, and Grundy Counties.
