Digital Literacy for the Modern Job Search
Help your participants build the skills they need to get hired.
Today’s hiring runs on screens, algorithms, and AI. BAM Digital Media brings the same digital literacy approach we teach in NYC schools and communities to jobseekers, so participants use technology to get hired instead of getting lost in it. For agencies and community organizations, as four-session series or individual workshops.

The Challenge
Job readiness is now digital readiness.
Your participants are ready to work, but much of the hiring process now happens online before they ever meet an employer. These are the gaps we design every session around.
01
Limited or nontraditional work history
Many jobseekers have experience from caregiving, volunteering, or informal work but don’t know how to present it to an employer.
02
Hiring has moved online
Applications, recruiter outreach, professional profiles, and video interviews now happen on screens, often before a person ever meets an employer.
03
Job scams target jobseekers
Fake postings and suspicious recruiter messages are built to reach people who are actively searching and under pressure to find work.
04
AI tools without guidance
Jobseekers are already using AI to write résumés and cover letters, often without checking accuracy or protecting their personal information.
Our Approach
The same digital literacy we teach across NYC, applied to the job search.
We help students, families, and educators use technology with intention. Our workforce series bring that same approach to jobseekers.
Awareness
Understand how job platforms, recruiter outreach, and AI tools actually work, and what they do with your information.
Safety
Spot fake job offers, protect personal information, and know which requests are red flags.
Agency
Use AI as a tool, not a replacement: participants check its accuracy and keep their own voice.
Application
Leave with real materials: a tailored résumé, a profile, an introduction, and a plan to use them.
Workforce Training Series
Three focused series. Four sessions each.
Each series is a structured four-session program built from our workshop catalog, so your team can compare options and plan around a consistent format.
