Digital Inclusion Week
What is Digital Inclusion Week?
Digital Inclusion Week (DIW) is an annual week of awareness, recognition, and celebration. The Office of the Future of Work at CDLE is a member of the National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA), an organization that provides digital inclusion leadership and advocacy and supports states and localities in promoting digital inclusion. In Colorado, we join with organizations and individuals across the country to host special events, run social media campaigns, and share their digital inclusion actions and progress with the media.
Digital Inclusion Week was celebrated October 6-10, 2025.
