the current workforce by offering micro-credentials designed to give participants a competitive edge in the job market without resulting in college credit.<\/li>\n<li>AI is anticipated to play a major role in the manufacturing sector, improving aspects like quality control, safety, production efficiency, and fast decision-making.<\/li>\n<li>Specific industrial applications include AI tools that can detect unusual machine sounds quickly and help in predictive maintenance, tasks that were traditionally labor-intensive and time-consuming.<\/li>\n<li>The program is industry-specific, developed in collaboration with industry leaders, with a focus on reskilling and upskilling workers to ensure they can harness these technologies effectively.<\/li>\n<li>The expansion was funded through Connecticut&#8217;s Tech Talent Accelerator, with Governor Ned Lamont emphasizing the importance of preparing workers for AI\u2019s role in reshaping various economic sectors.<\/li>\n<li>The initiative includes a new course, &#8220;Quantum in Manufacturing 101,&#8221; to introduce foundational quantum computing concepts and explore how quantum technologies may impact advanced manufacturing systems.<\/li>\n<li>Data from SCSU shows a significant increase in job postings requiring AI skills, highlighting the urgency and necessity of this training program in the current job market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Southern Connecticut State to Offer Training in AI, Quantum Tech https:\/\/www.govtech.com\/education\/higher-ed\/southern-connecticut-state-to-offer-training-in-ai-quantum-tech Publish Date: 2026-03-18 17:04:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":197141,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/erepublic.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/27b6850\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/6500x3160+0+420\/resize\/1440x700!\/quality\/90\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ferepublic-brightspot.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2Fa6%2F19%2F98995027419ca3fe26429bcc7f9c%2Fshutterstock-1210158169.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-197140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197140"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197140"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197140\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":197142,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197140\/revisions\/197142"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
