📶 More than 17,000 students—or ⅓ of all students in the Hamilton County School district—have access to high-speed internet at no charge thanks to HCS EdConnect powered by EPB. 👏 Every household should have access to high-speed internet, and this program, available to eligible HCS students, is supporting that mission. Sharing updates with the Hamilton County Department of Education school board was a nice way to round out Digital Inclusion Week. 🔗 Now in its fourth year, HCS EdConnect is made possible by public-private partnerships, including support from EPB, Hamilton County Department of Education, the City of Chattanooga, Hamilton County Government, The Enterprise Center, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Foundation, and the Smart City Venture Fund.  Coverage from WDEF-TV: https://lnkd.in/efjFrWcT

Digital equity and inclusion is a pillar of The Enterprise Center, through Tech Goes Home Tennessee, HCS EdConnect, and more. Stand up for digital inclusion this week. We urge state leaders to prioritize state digital equity plans and budgets to bridge the digital divide. #DIW2024 #DigitalInclusion #DigitalEquityNow

🙌 High fives for Floor Five! Last week, Legal Aid of East Tennessee honored The Enterprise Center with the Alexander Hamilton Award at their Pro Bono Night for our commitment to advancing justice for all. As a program of The Enterprise Center, Floor Five offers a free, accessible, neutral, and professional space for Legal Aid to meet with clients. From LAET: “The overwhelming majority of our clients have limited options for safe and comfortable meeting spaces. Churches, law offices, courthouses, and other non-profits often carry stigma. A neutral venue for professional services is a rare find, and The Enterprise Center is fulfilling that need.” We’re grateful for this recognition! Want to reserve Floor Five for your next meeting or conference? Secure your space here: https://lnkd.in/egejJXb9
