ForbesUnder30 hackathoners use free WiFi—and a neighborhood bus—to help Detroit's supply chain jobs crunch Under30Summit
The city of Detroit has been hit hard by Covid-19, the shutdowns and tragedies of the coronavirus slowing the progress of a metro area that has faced its share of recent challenges — but also hope. In a weekend-long sprint, a group ofUnder 30 alumni have worked around the clock to provide more support to the latter, looking at how technology and community organizing can work together to provide key skills to Detroit’s evolving and iconic auto manufacturing workforce.
The auto group’s challenge was a weighty one. Capitalizing on existing production and capacity, how could Detroit automakers account for the drop in purchasing of traditional motor vehicles? Called #DriveAmericasFuture, their solution combines the digital and physical to provide a job and skills resource hub to auto manufacturing workers. On the digital side, the group’s website can provide links and how-tos on emerging technology and skills in mobility, local resources in Detroit, re-training and job openings and fairs.
To ensure their solution could prove accessible to more furloughed, laid-off or at-need potential workers, even in areas without reliable Internet or mobile usage, the group turned to a twist on advice they received from Cities Reimagined founder Alex Johnston: be the neighborhood ice cream truck, not the delivery app.
