Mayor Rahm Emanuel announces an initiative April 16, 2016, aimed at raising $10 million over the next three years to improve opportunities for Chicagoans to receive digital and computer training. Mayor Rahm Emanuel and city officials Saturday unveiled Connect Chicago, an initiative aimed at raising $10 million over the next three years to create more opportunities for Chicagoans to receive digital and computer training. “If you are technically capable, the doors of tomorrow are open to you. If you are not, those doors are shut,” Emanuel said. “Now the question is, ‘Are we going to make sure every child and every family is conversant?’” Among Connect Chicago’s first efforts to bridge the digital divide is the expansion of the Chicago Public Library’s Cyber Navigator Program to 78 libraries from 49, and expanding the program to 11 community development centers.
