The ACTE Post-secondary CTE Summit is a national convening focused on post-secondary career and technical education (CTE) policy, practice, and workforce alignment. The summit brings together educators, administrators, researchers, and professionals from community colleges, technical schools, universities, and industry to share strategies, explore emerging trends, and engage in collaborative solutions for advancing CTE programs.

Join NITIC’s first Industry Engagement Series webinar featuring community college alumni who are now working in a variety of IT roles. Alumni panelists will share firsthand perspectives on how entry-level IT careers are evolving, the impact of AI on day-to-day work, and the technical and professional skills they use most often in the workplace. Faculty will also hear what alumni wish they had learned more about in college, their advice for preparing today’s students, and how colleges can strengthen ongoing connections with alumni as valuable employer voices.

Looking to incorporate zero-cost, open-source instructional tools into your courses this fall? Join for an exclusive info session featuring faculty from UC Berkeley to explore NSF Cloudbank Classroom. Discover how educators are utilizing this lightweight, no-cost JupyterHub platform to deliver interactive AI and Data Science modules helping to eliminating financial and infrastructure barriers for students.

The event serves as a platform to showcase new technologies, foster collaboration between public and private sectors, explore the latest advances in autonomous systems, with a special focus on agricultural applications, and support the transition from research to real-world use.

Advanced computing, artificial intelligence, and research networking resources are transforming research and education across disciplines, yet many researchers, educators, and students remain unaware of the national infrastructure available to support their work. This presentation introduces the Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support (ACCESS) program, the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) Pilot, and the National Research Platform (NRP), highlighting opportunities to obtain computing allocations, AI resources, research networking capabilities, training, and educational support. Participants will learn how to access nationally supported cyberinfrastructure resources, leverage advanced computational and data-intensive platforms, and take advantage of training and user support services designed to accelerate discovery and innovation. The session will provide practical guidance for educators seeking classroom resources and researchers looking to expand the scale, impact, and accessibility of their computational and data-driven projects through nationally coordinated infrastructure and services. 

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

• Analyze AI Ethics Dilemmas: Identify and evaluate ethical challenges present in common AI tools and daily applications.
• Assess Fairness & Transparency: Examine algorithmic transparency, bias, and fairness in everyday technology tools.
• Evaluate AI-Generated Outputs: Critically judge the ethical implications and reliability of content created by AI systems.
• Make Informed & Responsible Decisions: Apply practical frameworks to choose and utilize AI tools that earn trust and respect human rights.
