Congratulations to the Orange County Regional Consortium and all the partners for organizing such an important and timely conference.
This week, leaders of the Orange County region came together to devise an action plan related to AI implementation and integration. This unique convening of urgency gathered K12, higher education, workforce development, city officials, and small businesses. Collaboratively, we discussed and shared concrete strategies to inform, train, and increase access to the new AI revolution. 💡Some of these strategies or action items shared are: retrofitting college and community center computer labs to update current equipment compatible to the usage of AI technology, solidifying common standards for AI Curriculum with the perspective of small businesses and the community, identifying funding streams to assist with development and implementation strategies like Strong Workforce and National Science Foundation, and the establishment of an AI Expert Committee to facilitate continuous research and provide on-going professional development to all stakeholders. 🫱🏾🫲🏼 Overall, this was an event of information sharing, brainstorming, and primarily of action. Now a few stakeholder partners and myself will gather the information shared and provide a report of our findings that will concretely define the regional action items for the 2024-2025 academic year. Updates to follow shortly! 🙏🏾 Special thank you to Roger Lloyd, Adriene "Alex" Davis, Ed.D., Jeannie Mitsch, Ed.D, Rick Hodge, Gary Graves, Neil Sahota, Craig Hayward, and many other regional leaders who made this gathering a success. #AI #workforcedevelopment #collaboration #communitycollege #education #leadership
