About

NEKCV is a community-driven organization whose mission is to ensure high-speed broadband internet service is available to rural and underserved communities throughout the Northeast Kingdom and the Central Valley of Vermont. Founded in 2020 as a Communications Union District, we began construction of our fiber-optic network in 2021.

Today, we’re a growing company of fewer than 40 employees. Our size means that every team member has an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, take on new challenges, and grow their skills and career.

At NEKCV, we’re committed to building an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcomed and valued. Our work is rooted in community, and we’re looking for people who share our commitment to connecting rural Vermont communities with the opportunities that reliable, high-speed internet makes possible.

As we continue to grow, we’re excited to welcome a dynamic and community-minded Community HUB & Digital Equity Coordinator to our team.
