Speaking on Business: Comcast Business

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Comcast has been connecting millions nationwide with high-speed internet, TV, and mobile services since 1963. Along with delivering reliable technology, they’re dedicated to closing the digital divide and expanding access across Utah. External Affairs Director, Deneiva Knight, joins us with more. Deveiva Knight: At Comcast, investing in Utah’s workforce is more than a strategy, it’s a responsibility. We know a strong economy depends on a skilled and empowered workforce, so we partner with nonprofits, economic development groups, and community leaders to close skill gaps and expand internet access. Our mission is simple: equip more Utahns with digital skills they need — whether they’re changing careers, starting out, or upskilling. Through local partnerships, we fund job training programs, we provide resources to make tech a tool for opportunity. Comcast RISE takes it further by supporting Utah small business owners with grants, marketing, and tech upgrades, fueling innovation and job growth. Over the past three years, we’ve contributed 5.3 million dollars in cash and in-kind support to 80 local Utah organizations, including PROG Development Center and Neighborhood House, helping expand access through Internet Essentials and Lift Zones. Utah’s workforce drives our commitment. And you can learn more at Comcast.com. Derek Miller: Comcast Business is deeply committed to Utah by expanding internet access, and empowering local small businesses with digital tools, grants, and strong community partnerships.
