AT&T launched two Connected Learning Centers in Augusta through partnerships with the Boys & Girls Clubs and RISE Augusta. The centers supply free internet access, computers, and instruction on safe broadband adoption for youth and families.

These steps align with Augusta's established position as a city that maintains a vibrant tech scene. Expanded digital skills training helps residents move into roles that support startup growth and established technology operations in the area.

Targeted Classes at Community Sites

Augusta Habitat for Humanity runs a Digital Literacy class at its Community Engagement Center. The sessions focus on computer skills and confident navigation of online tools. Augusta University Literacy Center works with Augusta Technical College to deliver free adult education that includes workplace literacy and English literacy programs at the HUB for Community Innovation. Augusta University also offers volunteer-led computer skills sessions for adults of any age, held weekly from Monday through Friday.

Augusta County Public Schools maintains a list of free digital tools for classroom use and backs instructional technology purchases under data privacy agreements. These resources reach students who may later enter the city's technology workforce.

Library Tools Add Scale

Augusta Public Library cardholders gain entry to more than 6,000 digital audiobooks and eBooks through the Kansas e-Library, along with the Beanstack reading challenge program. The materials provide structured practice that builds the reading and navigation habits required in tech environments.

Residents can contact the listed organizations directly to check current session availability and registration steps at the Community Engagement Center, the HUB for Community Innovation, the Connected Learning Centers, or any Augusta Public Library branch.
