The discussion-focused event, sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), gave industry representatives the opportunity to share insights on emerging technology trends, AI and the skills and competencies most critical for tomorrowโs workforce, and how KC's CIT programs can better prepare students for real-world success.
The exchange reflects KCโs ongoing commitment to building strong partnerships with industry leaders to ensure academic programs remain responsive, relevant and aligned with workforce needs.
