The "Building Digital Bridges" program is a digital literacy (basic computer and software skills) training initiative offered by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to address the digital divide in New Jersey, particularly for individuals and families who are receiving Work First New Jersey (WFNJ) benefits in the form of TANF, SNAP, GA, and/or other eligible assistance.
The program provides comprehensive digital literacy training, prepares participants for industry-recognized certifications like CompTIA ITF+, and offers career development support to enhance employability. Participants who meet certain qualifications can potentially receive up to $750 for eligible supportive costs and keep the laptops used in the program. Who is eligible to participate in this program?
Participants must be adult New Jersey residents who are receiving WFNJ benefits (current TANF, GA, and/or SNAP recipients) and live in Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, or Warren counties. Proof of residency, eligibility, and identification will be required. WFNJ (Work First New Jersey) is the State of New Jersey's welfare program.
Its primary goal is to help individuals and families achieve self-sufficiency by emphasizing work as the first step. WFNJ includes programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) for families with minor children, General Assistance (GA) for single adults and couples without children, and SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) formerly known as food stamps.
Participants should have an active case number and/or AOSOS (American One-Stop Operating System) ID number obtained from their local workforce development board. What kind of training does the program offer, how long does it take, and what is the format? Participants will receive individual training plans to guide them through.
The core digital literacy training, including an AI literacy component, spans about 12 weeks of structured instruction, with additional career mentoring sessions with the goal of attaining paid employment. Participants will engage in up to 21 hours per week of group technology training and career readiness and will be expected to complete assignments on their own, independently, as well as attending sessions.
While the majority of the training is virtual, there will be several live events held on the NJIT campus. Please see below for more details: Foundational Digital Literacy (JobWorks Digital Lite Program): 4 weeks of essential digital skills offered live remotely via Zoom.
CompTIA IT Fundamentals Certification Preparation (JobWorks IT Foundations Boot Camp - CompTIA ITF+): 8-week intensive boot camp to prepare for the CompTIA ITF+ credential offered live remotely via Zoom. NJIT's AI Literacy Certificate: 20 hours of self-paced AI education offered online at the participants’ convenience.
Career Readiness Coaching: Includes resume improvement, interview coaching, and optimizing job performance offered live remotely via Zoom. Learners begin with group training and then meet individually online with their mentors. When does the program begin and end?
The training (offered in English) will begin officially in September 2025 with applications being accepted starting in July 2025 and the first round ending May 31, 2026. Additionally, programming is contingent upon continued funding. Groups are likely to start each month from September 2025 through January 2026 and can support up to 150 participants in total.
Can participants earn a device (a laptop) through the program? Yes, participants who satisfy the program requirements can earn a refurbished laptop with a case and mouse to keep. To be eligible, participants generally need to meet 80% attendance across all scheduled program events and training sessions, attend mandatory sessions, and/or successfully obtain the CompTIA ITF+ certification and NJIT AI literacy microcredential.
What kind of jobs can participants expect to get after completing the program? The program prepares participants for entry-level technology or administrative roles. Digital literacy is increasingly essential, with about 90% of jobs in New Jersey "definitely” or “likely" requiring it.
Potential roles include Secretaries/Administrative Assistants and Administrative Service Managers. How can interested people apply for the program? Participants should complete this Google registration form .

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
