Ignite Emporia announced Tuesday afternoon that it will work in partnership with the Center on Rural Innovation’s Future is Digital Challenge skills development program to provide high-demand digital job training for 20 individuals in the Emporia community. Emporia was selected by CORI to be a part of the program, which is funded by a grant from Microsoft and will equip participants with professional skills coaching in one of three tracks: digital marketing, project management or sales representation. “It’s open to the general public, anybody that’s interested in adding this to their plate for the spring of 2022,” said Ignite Emporia director Rob Gilligan. “It’s a great way to build up their skills and their resume and move on to other opportunities for workforce development.”
