The SSU Kricker Innovation Hub has been selected by the Center on Rural Innovation (CORI) to receive 2 AmeriCorps VISTA members to help us build our capacity and programs related to Digital Jobs Training!


The Center on Rural Innovation is running a national project to deliver inclusive digital jobs training and career placement support to low-income rural residents across the country. We are working to shift the narrative on what is possible in rural America! As part of this effort, CORI is recruiting 12 AmeriCorps VISTA members to help build the capacity of organizations like ours to implement these tech-focused programs in 6 rural communities. VISTA members will serve for one year, beginning in mid-July 2021.


Sound interesting?
