Adapting to the New Working Environment in Rural Illinois
As broadband expands, part of the challenge for rural communities will be understanding and adapting to the new working environment. Adapting economic and workforce development strategies may look different for different communities considering existing amenities and resources. Rethinking strategies will require understanding the trends in remote work, community amenities and the skills needed to compete effectively. This webinar will cover: 1) categories of remote workers, 2) both pre and post pandemic trends, 3) placemaking with an eye to the remote/digital worker, and 4) workforce development needs.
