Workforce Development, Inc. - Digital Navigator (LitMN)

Our primary goal is to provide ongoing digital job search and career exploration assistance to the many and varied disadvantaged customers we serve on a daily basis. The Digital Navigator will provide these services to customers through our drop-in/phone/email Triage Service. Referrals to community supports which fall outside of our scope of service will also be included, as will referrals to Career Planners for enrollment into programmatic resources. Customers interested in pursuing Northstar Digital Literacy will be referred to our local Adult Basic Education partner. Interactions between the Digital Navigator and customers will be case-noted in our data management system, and the Digital Navigator will work closely with the rest of our Rochester team to provide these services. Digital Navigation Corps aims to provide digital job readiness skills and create pathways of economic opportunities for adults 16 years and older from low-income and historically under-invested communities. Digital Navigation Corps is a program of Literacy Minnesota, an organization that connects people to transformative learning, sparks innovation in literacy and mobilizes change. Literacy Minnesota envisions a future where literacy eliminates injustices and strengthens communities. Digital Navigation Corps is Literacy Minnesota's response to the digital skills-gap that impacts communities across the country. Built on a longstanding tradition of service, and pioneering the newest resources in digital learning, Digital Navigation Corps addresses critical digital literacy needs by bringing Digital Navigators to work alongside community members who are striving to reach their professional goals. Digital navigators will support community members through one-on-one mentorship, classroom-based instruction, and resource guide creation and referrals. Serve PART-TIME, about 20 hours/week OR longer hours for a shorter service term. Inquire for more info. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
