Piedmont Community College (PCC) is located a short distance from Research Triangle Park. The Triangle Region has a diverse business ecosystem with over 7,000 companies across multiple industries including Agtech, Cleantech, Life Sciences, Advantaged Manufacturing and Technology, and the region's industries are witnessing a surge in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity. This trend has driven a significant demand for a skilled technical workforce with the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) identified by industry for entry-level technicians. This project will develop industry-aligned curricula at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity benefiting two-year college students, faculty members, and local industry stakeholders. Working in partnership with local industry, PCC will provide students the KSAs to earn industry recognized credentials and gain hands-on learning experiences. The project will bridge the gap between academic education and real-world application and increase the number of individuals with specialized skills and advanced technical knowledge in AI and cybersecurity. The project will enhance PCC's technical education programs by (1) recruiting, training, and credentialing highly qualified faculty; (2) developing an interdisciplinary curriculum with new courses culminating in an associate's degree and stackable certification program; and (3) offering students opportunities to learn practical skills in hands-on labs, capstone pr
