Reimagining the broadband technology workforce - Nicol Turner Lee and Brady Tavernier, Brookings

We recommend 

1. develop better taxonomies of broadband occupations and competency-based learning progressions to better measure, train, and narrow the scope of these occupations.
2. People without college or advanced degrees should be the intended targets of IIJA-related job opportunities
3. Standardized high-quality credentialing and “soft skills” training programs, like those adopted by some private and civic sector employers, should be readily available
4. There must be intentional efforts to diversify unionized roles within broadband
