eKnox is a community digital literacy program created by the Knoxville Chamber to provide resources for nonprofits and organizations to start and run computer classes. A pilot program was conducted October-December 2022 to tackle three components of the digital divide — access to high-speed internet, access to affordable devices, and digital literacy.
See details and results here.
With the help of community partners, the Chamber is now scaling eKnox to provide basic computer skills training for adults in underserved communities throughout Knox County. For information on how your organization can get involved, contact Nancy Nabors at [email protected].
