In partnership with the Capital One, online learning platform Grovo created the 'Future Edge Digital Literacy Challenge.' This free online curriculum is designed to challenge people to improve their digital literacy skills with short quizzes on topics like security, privacy, personal branding, networking and productivity. As deemed by this challenge, these are all fundamentals to thriving in the digital world.
This digital literacy curriculum is designed to help low-to-moderate income Americans develop the digital skills that are required in middle-skill jobs.
The content of the curriculum was developed with interviews with people from Latin American Youth Center, 501cTECH and a variety of other schools and youth centers across America. Over the next few years, this curriculum will be shared with more than 15,000 people through Capital One Future Edge partners.
