A New Program to Help NYC Small Businesses Upgrade their Digital Skills

Many small businesses have the challenge of being on the wrong side of the digital divide, a problem that has gotten worse as the Covid-19 pandemic has put more pressure on businesses to serve their customers online. To address these large and growing needs, NYC Opportunity has joined with the NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS) to launch the Training for Your Employees program. This new City initiative provides business owners and their employees with no-cost training in digital literacy, marketing tools, online security, and COVID-19 safety. It offers training in such essential technology tools as computer basics, Zoom, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and many others. The program, under the auspices of SBS, builds on the successful SBS/NYC Opportunity Customized Training Program.
