State Urges Adult Education Agencies to Join the "Broadband for All" Digital Equity Resource Finder

Posted on 07/14/2026

The California Department of Technology (CDT) is “seeking responses from organizations, nonprofits, government agencies, experts, and others who provide digital inclusion services” to fill out this digital equity resource survey.

By participating, your agency will be featured in the statewide Digital Equity Resource Finder, a public tool designed to help residents, community partners, and state agencies easily locate essential digital inclusion programs and services across California.

Why This Matters for Your Agency

If your school or center offers any of the following, your programs qualify to be listed:

• Digital literacy and basic computer skills training 
• Workforce development resources 
• Digital navigation support (helping students find low-cost internet or devices)
• Public computer labs or Wi-Fi access

The ultimate benefit? Higher visibility and potentially increasing enrollment. Being listed on this centralized state platform ensures that prospective students, case managers, and community organizations looking for adult education opportunities in your area can find your courses directly.

Supporting the Statewide Initiative

California’s "Broadband for All" initiative aims to close the digital divide, ensuring every resident has the access, equipment, and skills needed to thrive in a digital world. Adult education agencies are on the front lines of this effort.

The original Resource Finder mapped out organizations interested in digital equity; this updated version focuses strictly on providers actively delivering services.

By adding your agency to the map, you help the state build an accurate, actionable network of support, ensuring state resources are directed where they are needed most and that no community is left behind.

How to Participate

The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Please note that answers are not saved automatically, so it is recommended to complete it in one sitting.

• ✅Take the Survey: Fill out the form directly via the State's Digital Equity Resource Survey page.

• Preview the Questions: If you need to gather information before submitting, you can review the questions beforehand using the state's provided Read-me file.

Help put your programs on the map and connect more adult learners to the digital skills they need for the modern workforce!
