Tampa’s Learning Alliance Corporation used to suffer service outages due to latency, according to Cesar Ruiz, the organization’s president and CEO, but thanks to a new donation from Frontier those outages may be a thing of the past.

Fontier, which has a workforce that is 10 percent veterans, announced the donations in October. The company is involved in a partnership with the Learning Alliance Corporation in hopes that they can recruit and hire more veterans, according to a recent statement from the company.

Learning Alliance Corporation partners with businesses, colleges, and universities to train and equip those interested in joining the broadband and telecommunications industry, especially veterans, people of color, and women.

By partnering with employers nationwide, Learning Alliance Corporation has created workshops, labs and simulation programs that align the theoretical concepts with real-world application learning, according to a summary provided to Broadband Communities.

Learning Alliance Corporation said their approach creates learning solutions based on community-specific goals, staff skill level, and corporate culture. They also provide instructors who specialize in the areas they teach, the corporation’s summary stated.

“We are proud to donate to Learning Alliance Corporation, a minority-owned organization that offers a diverse group of veterans exceptional training and critical resources to start a career in telecommunications, hopefully at Frontier,” said Alan Gardner, the chief people officer at Frontier.

Ruiz said the Learning Alliance Corporation is excited to be one of the latest recipients of Forontier’s Broadband for Good program. According to Frontier, Broadband for Good is a social impact program run by Frontier that advances the company’s commitment to digital inclusion and strengthening the communities it serves.

Learning Alliance Corporation has had an “outstanding relationship” with Frontier, according to Ruiz.

“Frontier is invested in readying its workforce and adding more veterans to their roster, and they are proving that yet again with the generous donation they made today,” he said. “The donation will make a real difference and help us advance our purpose of providing the best technology, training and resources available to prepare veterans for a future in telecommunications.”
