At Digital Ready, we believe the future of our city depends on the talent, creativity, and resilience of its people. That’s why we invest in people—young innovators, local businesses, and community partners—who are building pathways to success in education and the workforce.

In our Future of Work Lab, we create opportunities for young adults between the ages of 16-25 to earn college credit, industry credentials, and paid work experience while exploring careers in fields like biotechnology, clean energy, computer science, robotics, architecture and engineering. By pairing hands-on learning with real-world connections, we prepare young people not just for jobs, but for meaningful careers that shape the future of Boston’s economy.

Youth who are interested in participating in our STEM pathways to start their career journeys should apply using the link at the top of the page. Our pathways include classes centered around projects that help you build technical skills, Career Chats from industry professionals, Industry Site Visits (City as a Lab), career coaching, and more to help you take your next steps in industry.

Our Neighborhood Work Club provides access to shared workspaces, resources, and community events. It’s more than just a place to get work done, it’s a hub for building relationships, sparking ideas, and strengthening the local community.
