FREE KP RESOURCES
WHY WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE FREE RESOURCES
The Kinetic Potential (KP) Network, established by the Digital Network Group, is a membership network comprised of organizations from the government, academic, faith-based, nonprofit and corporate sectors, who share their knowledge and resources to develop human capital for the 21st century workforce. The shared mission is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of existing efforts by adopting a common framework for the implementation, governance and tracking of academic, social and professional development services. This standardization and integration of community stakeholders into a “talent supply chain” maximizes capital and improves the ability to scale solutions for at-risk and under served populations.
