Seward County, [Date] – Nextlink Internet, in collaboration with the Seward County Chamber of Commerce, is proud to announce the grand opening of the county’s first Digital Empowerment Center. The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place on Wednesday, April 16th at 3 p.m. at 510 Bradford St, Ste C.

The Digital Empowerment Center is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at providing residents with access to digital literacy courses and technical skills training. This center will serve as a vital resource for individuals seeking to enhance their digital competencies, thereby opening new opportunities in education, employment, and personal development.

The success of this initiative would not have been possible without the invaluable support of our partners. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Microsoft Airband Initiative and Hanus Tech Solutions for their unwavering commitment to improving digital access and opportunities. Their contributions have been instrumental in bringing this vision to life.

“We are thrilled to launch the Digital Empowerment Center in Seward County,” said Chief Strategy Officer of Nextlink Internet. “This center represents a significant step forward in our mission to bridge the digital divide and empower our community with the skills needed to thrive in today’s digital world.”

The Seward Chamber has also been pivotal in supporting this initiative. Their dedication to working closely with Nextlink and community stakeholders to increase digital adoption and awareness has been crucial in making this project a reality.

“We are excited to see the positive impact this center will have on our community,” said Jonathan Jank, President and CEO of The Seward Chamber of Commerce. “By providing access to digital literacy and technical skills training, we are opening doors to new opportunities in education, the economy, and healthcare.”

Initial Workshops will include Basic Devices Navigation, Photo Editing and Sharing, Internet Security and Using AI Tools courses.

The ribbon cutting ceremony will feature remarks from key stakeholders, a tour of the facility, and demonstrations of the courses and training programs available. We invite all community members to join us in celebrating this milestone achievement.
