+ The Future of Work: COVID-19 Reskilling Initiative
COVID-19 has caused staggering job losses in our community. The future feels uncertain for many of us. But the long-term trend is clear: Louisville will have a shortage of local talent with the skills needed to fill the new jobs of our digital future.
As an immediate response to COVID-19, we are bringing free programs to Louisville residents to build valuable skills and credentials in specific, employer-vetted digital career tracks, including data analytics, digital marketing, software engineering, and user experience design.
All programs are conducted virtually, so you can learn in the safety and comfort of your own home.
