Connecticut is testing a belief that remote work will outlive the COVID-19 pandemic, presenting challenges and opportunities for a workforce that might lack digital skills yet benefit from telecommuting.
Twenty-eight unemployed men and women began an experimental workforce development program Monday that will teach skills necessary for remote employment and place them in paid internships.
While most of the program involves recorded classes over Google Classroom, it kicked off with a live one-hour orientation conducted, naturally enough, over Zoom.
