A public-private collaboration announced this month will allow educators in Californian colleges and universities to gain certification in generative AI with NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute.
“We want to train a workforce of the future and also excite students and adults who are out of the workforce about opportunities for the future,” said Stewart Knox, secretary of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency.
The AI-education initiative is based on NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute’s University Ambassador Program, which connects instructors with high-quality teaching kits, workshop content, and GPU-accelerated workstations in the cloud.
NVIDIA is already working on multiple projects across California, helping students and professionals in biotechnology and life sciences, advanced manufacturing, media, and entertainment.
The University of California and California State University schools have embarked on several workforce, climate, and community-based projects.
An example is San José State University, which evaluates how the NVIDIA Omniverse development platform could support the creation of digital twins — 3D virtual representations of real-world systems — for San José.
“As a world leader in AI computing, NVIDIA is a natural partner to prepare the future of California’s workforce,” said Amy Tong, secretary of the California Government Operations Agency.”
