AUSTIN, Texas — A new program is helping disadvantaged families in southeast Austin gain the skills they need to secure jobs.

“Skill Saturdays” is a new program put on by the River City Youth Foundation to help people in southeast Austin learn new skills to help them find success as Austin’s tech industry grows. The program is part of the foundation’s two-year “#LearnInATX” campaign to help communities that are “most at-risk from being displaced in the digital revolution,” according to their website.
