The Digital Inclusion Program has worked with DECA organizations to create a community digital inclusion resource website. This website is publicly searchable, but is still in beta as we determine processes to keep the information up to date and allow for open community management. Some features on the website are not final.
What needs to happen?
The Digital Inclusion team needs to source web development assistance to fully operationalize the website (event calendar, resource map, resource list). During this process, there is a continuing need to implement this website with our community partners.
What is going well?
We have a baseline website created with the desired functionality possible in beta testing.
What could be going better?
In order to progress, this project needs additional technical labor and community engagement level that are not currently available.

The Digital Inclusion Resource website beta will rely on self service information update with the ability to send emails to all profile owners to update their profile information
What needs to happen?
Developing outreach strategies for community resources that we might not know about, and making the intake easy. We also need to finish the website. We also need to drive community participation in and utilization of the website by creating sufficient value.
What is going well?
See 1.1 for analysis.
What could be going better?
