2. Resume Clinics: Specialized workshops are held to assist residents in building effective resumes tailored to their skills and experiences, with a focus on helping those with limited resume knowledge and work experience.
3. Hands-On Support and One-on-One Assistance: The lab provides direct support to users, whether they need technical guidance, career advice, or help with specific digital tasks.
4. Access to Technology: The lab offers a Kiosk system of laptops with Microsoft Office to encourage participation and improve accessibility.
5. Workforce Development Programs: In addition to basic digital skills, the lab promotes workforce readiness by connecting community members to career resources, resume assistance, and skills assessments to better align them with job opportunities.
6. Community Engagement: The lab actively engages with the local community to increase awareness of its resources, helping bridge the digital divide and enhance career pathways.

Through these offerings, the Digital Learning Lab aims to be a cornerstone of digital empowerment, helping residents acquire the skills they need for personal development, job readiness, and long-term career success
