Union City Public Library - Digital Navigator - P/T (LitMN)
 
 
 
The Union City Public Library serves a very diverse and vibrant community in Hudson County. While the majority of the population speaks Spanish at home, the community contains residents from all over the world. Despite being only a little bit over one square mile, Union City is one of the densest cities in the U.S., with almost 70,000 residents. One of the goals of UCPL is to help bridge the digital divide within this community in order to build digital skills as well as job readiness. The Digital Navigator will be the main face of the initiative, providing one-on-one digital skills and workforce development help as well as computer classes and community outreach. The ideal candidate will be fluent in both English and Spanish to better help the Union City community. 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. The literacy work that began 50 years ago in Minnesota is now nationwide, providing curriculum, classes, workshops and research to partners and learners. 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.
