More than half of the U.S. rural workforce lacks the information technology skills needed to perform 21st century jobs, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. CSREES funds research into how best to assist citizens in rural and underserved communities in acquiring computer and telecommunications knowledge and skills. These skills, disseminated through 4-H Youth Technology Teams and Cooperative Extension-sponsored workshops, will help rural residents realize a more profitable farm and business income, promote environmental stewardship, and support quality of life for farm families and communities.
