Remote Online Initiative
Fellow: Paul Hill, Utah State University Roadmap USU ROI Fellow Report: The purpose of this project is a specialized remote work training program for rural residents and business leaders. This project is off to a great start and the assigned catalysts are extremely helpful in guiding in the process of scaling my ROI program nationally. Deliverables and plans for the year are in place, but the project can pivot as circumstances change. The objective is to (1) Establish an Onboarding Plan for affiliates of the ROI program, (2) Develop program communication content, (3) Execute a targeted marketing campaign to reach the project goal of (4) 10 approved aliates by end of August 2022.

At this time the project is working with the University of Kentucky as a potential affiliate. They are a finalist for the Build Back Better federal funding through the Economic Development Administration (EDA) and plan to use the funding for a remote work training program for people in rural counties with plans to use the ROI program for curriculum. The goal is to have 10 program affiliates by August 2022. At the end of Quarter 1, this project was already working with 4 approved affiliates with 4 more interested. Leaders at land grant institutions are asking for more information. Catalysts’ Report: Dyremple Marsh and Rick Klemme ● The Remote Online Initiative is a mature project that receives support from the university administration along with state and local governments. The project is working on developing marketing strategies that should increase the number of project affiliates. These include both land grant universities and non-land grant universities. To date, the onboarding of new affiliates has been increasing steadily, the ROI has used several of the KI services available with the main emphasis on professional development, team growth, publication, and marketing. The project is positioned for significant expansion and needs to plan how this will be managed in the near future. The project’s sustainability is guaranteed by funds from the state government. The ROI is supported by a fully staffed team and a fellow who has built relationships with both state and local officials. ● The Team Health Survey was conducted and reviewed.
