Comcast Digital Connectors® Program
The Bakker Career Center is proud to be the local home of the Comcast Digital Connectors® Program, sponsored by
Comcast Corporation, in partnership with One Economy Corporation. Comcast and One Economy are helping our youth to understand how to be competitive and innovative in the emerging digital economy by providing educational programs in the fields of leadership development, digital education, life skills management and community service.
The Digital Connectors, as program participants are called, train two to three times per week at the Bakker Career Center to hone their technical skills. The curriculum also provides them with life skills that inspire educational advancement and workforce preparation. Each has the opportunity to see where their hard work can lead, as they interact with Comcast employees from around the country who serve as role models by lending their leadership and expertise to local programs.
Digital Connectors commit to provide several hours a month volunteering at community-based organizations, senior centers, churches, local schools, and even reaching out to their own families and friends, to make everyone aware of how broadband can change their lives and helping them to get connected.
