Grant Overview

Nova Scotia's digital divide is a significant barrier to economic development, particularly in rural areas where access to technology is limited. With 30% of households lacking reliable internet access, the province requires innovative solutions to address this gap. Unlike neighboring New Brunswick, Nova Scotia has a strong network of community organizations and industry partners that can be leveraged to support digital literacy initiatives. The proposed Youth Mentorship in Technology Skills initiative will address this need by providing training sessions led by industry professionals. The grant will fund equipment and training materials, ensuring measurable improvements in digital literacy and career readiness for participants. Nova Scotia's economy is characterized by a strong presence of small businesses and entrepreneurs, who require access to technology and digital skills to remain competitive. The initiative will focus on underserved communities, including those in rural areas and those with limited access to technology. By building on existing infrastructure and partnerships, this initiative will help bridge the digital divide in Nova Scotia and promote economic development. The training sessions will be held in community centers and schools across the province, including in Halifax, Sydney, and Digby. With a strong focus on industry-led training and mentorship, this initiative will have a lasting impact on Nova Scotia's digital landscape. ## Building Digital Capacity in Nova Scotia ## Nova Scotia's digital capacity is hindered by limited access to technology and digital skills training.
