Digital Literacy and Fluency Resources
In a post-COVID-19 world, being able to operate digitally is not optional for small businesses that wish to succeed.
CAMEO convened a roundtable of practitioners, stakeholders, and clients to determine the skills needed to survive and thrive in the new digital economy. The result is a compilation of resources for digital literacy and fluency for small business providers! The curriculum covers computer basics, digital tools for business, internet basics and more.
ICYMI: Maximize Your CAMEO Membership Webinar
Last week, we held a webinar for new and existing members, in which we reviewed the benefits of being a CAMEO member, including:
