An ideal candidate for a POWRR institute fits some of these descriptions:

·         Someone who works directly with collections, including digital materials.

·         Someone who has been exposed to basic digital preservation concepts, but struggles with moving from theory to practice.

·         Someone who represents or serves historically underrepresented populations.

·         Someone who is comfortable with basic technology (navigating a basic computing environment) but would benefit from instruction on more intermediate concepts.

·         Someone employed by an institution unable to provide professional development funding adequate to attend other digital preservation training opportunities.

·         Someone who would benefit from being a part of a small cohort of professionals like themselves, and who will put forth effort into sustaining these professional connections after the end of the Institute.
