The initiative is part of Intel’s AI for Workforce program, which aims to train workers in artificial intelligence by partnering with community colleges to create programs and train faculty.
Intel partnered with Maricopa County Community College District to launch the associate degree program. The college is still building out the courses that make up the degree program, but around 80 students will be enrolled in them each semester, said Carlos Contreras, senior director of AI and digital readiness at Intel.
