OUR MISSION 
Digital Ready prepares the next generation of Black and Latinx innovators for high-wage careers in Boston’s rapidly growing innovation economy. We create equitable pathways that connect young people to emerging industries through hands-on learning, industry-aligned training, and meaningful work-based experiences.

Being Digital Ready means being prepared to navigate and shape a constantly evolving world. Our apprentices develop the technical skills, creative confidence, and problem-solving mindsets needed to address complex challenges while building the social capital and credentials required to access economic opportunity. Through Digital Ready’s pathways, students earn valuable “currency” for the innovation economy—including industry-recognized credentials, college credits, professional digital portfolios, and meaningful relationships with employers, mentors, and industry leaders.

 

OUR VALUES 

  • We actively fight against the status quo that allows injustices to be perpetuated without accountability; 
  • We use our political power, social capital, and networks to create access to high-quality education opportunities for students; 
  • We value diverse perspectives, which we believe leads to more identity-affirming and innovative learning experiences for students; 
  • We are committed to being an anti-racist organization that prioritizes the voices of students and communities of color; 
  • We intentionally support the redesign of policies and structures of systemic racism that continues to exclude and harm communities of color; 
  • We actively interrogate schools' curriculum, industries' hiring practices, and other institutional practices that limit who has access to Boston's innovation economy. 

 

RESPONSIBILITIES

As the Industry Facilitator for NCCER Electrical Level 1 at the Future of Work Lab, you will lead hands-on learning experiences that prepare young adults to build foundational electrical skills and explore careers in the electrical trades, construction, clean energy, and related technical fields.

Over the course of the semester, you will implement the NCCER Electrical Level 1 curriculum and prepare a cohort of young adults to successfully complete the required NCCER modules and industry-recognized assessments. You will support students in developing the technical knowledge and hands-on skills necessary to pass both the NCCER module exams and performance tasks, with the goal of at least 90% of participants successfully completing the course and earning their industry-recognized credential. Throughout the semester, students will also build the confidence, problem-solving skills, safety practices, and professional competencies needed to pursue postsecondary education, apprenticeships, and careers in the electrical industry.

As the Electrical Industry Facilitator, you will implement and continuously strengthen a hands-on, project-based learning experience that brings the NCCER curriculum to life. You will facilitate instruction across Electrical Level 1 topics while creating opportunities for students to apply what they are learning through labs, demonstrations, and real-world projects. Projects will reinforce core electrical concepts and skills, including electrical safety, tools and equipment, circuits, conductors, wiring, electrical devices, and interpreting electrical drawings and specifications.

You will guide students through hands-on projects that allow them to practice, troubleshoot, test, and demonstrate their electrical skills while preparing for NCCER performance assessments. Projects should connect technical concepts to real-world applications and help students understand how the skills they are developing are used by electricians and other industry professionals. Students will also have opportunities to apply multiple skills through more independent work, demonstrating their technical growth, problem-solving, and ability to safely complete electrical tasks while exploring pathways into apprenticeships, further training, and careers in the electrical industry.

  • Partner with the Success & Belonging Team to identify and address barriers that may impact participant engagement, attendance, or success.



 

Deliver Rigorous, Project-Based Learning
