Federal Commission of Communications Chairman, Ajit Pai, paid Hopeworks a visit this month on the New Jersey leg of his Digital Opportunity Tour. Throughout his tour of the United States, Pai hopes to close the digital divide for all Americans. The Chairman was able to speak with our youth and staff about how we’re using technology to employ young people and earn jobs in various industries.
