Fall 2025 MONET Training Cohorts Announced

UME Marylanders Online has partnered with the Baltimore Digital Equity Coalition to offer two hybrid MONET training cohorts this Fall, with the goal of training 200 digital navigators across the state. The Marylanders Online Navigator Education Toolkit (MONET) train-the-trainer curriculum is designed to empower community-serving agencies to deliver digital navigation services at a local level.

The Baltimore & Statewide MONET Training Cohorts will offer a comprehensive learning experience, incorporating self-paced asynchronous modules, required in-person workshops, and optional virtual office hours. Participants who complete the MONET training will receive a certificate of completion from the University of Maryland Extension. Read more.
