How Your District Plugs In: Applied AI, Credentials of Value, and Paid IT Apprenticeships
Date & Time

Description

Ivy Tech Community College is building Indiana's applied AI and IT talent pipeline, and K-12 is where it starts. The School of Information Technology now weaves applied AI fluency through its programs, from a new Applied AI associate degree to AI-infused coursework throughout the curriculum, mapped wherever possible to high school Credentials of Value. For schools, that means clear, stackable on-ramps: dual-credit courses that count toward degrees, short-term credentials students can earn before graduation, and IT apprenticeships through TechIndiana that let high schoolers step directly from the classroom into paid, credentialed work. This session, presented by Ivy Tech and TechIndiana leaders, walks through what is working, where AI is changing the classroom on both sides of the K-12/college line, and how your district can plug in.
