Clark Atlanta University has partnered with IBM to advance AI skills and bridge the digital divide through IBM's SkillsBuild initiative. Students gain access to IBM's generative AI platform and receive hands-on training, essential for preparing them for future tech roles. The collaboration addresses the urgent skills gap highlighted in the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs report, where 40% of skills could become obsolete by 2030. Emphasis is placed on empowering students from underserved communities with AI competencies to drive responsible innovation.
The partnership gives students unprecedented access to IBM's watsonx generative AI platform, its open-source Granite language models, and hands-on training.
IBM's commitment to building skills that matter aligns seamlessly with CAU's long-standing legacy of educational excellence and social impact.
According to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs report, nearly 40% of today's skills could be obsolete by 2030.
By equipping our students with essential AI competencies, we not only prepare them for future opportunities but also ensure that the development of AI reflects the broad range of perspectives of the communities.
