Millennium Fellowship Project: Digital Uraan
Digital Uraan is a free, cohort-based digital skills studio designed to help students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds transition into entry-level freelancing. The project provides scaffolded micro-lessons, hands-on projects, peer and mentor feedback, portfolio publishing support, and access to a micro-task marketplace. Built entirely using free, widely available tools, Digital Uraan lowers barriers to digital work by enabling participants to build verified portfolios and secure their first paid micro-tasks.
