WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 19, 2024-- BuildWithin, the leading technology platform for workforce innovation, is introducing seven new registered apprenticeship roles approved by the U.S. Department of Labor and the District of Columbia. Among them are the first-ever apprenticeships in AI Prompt Engineering and Startup Entrepreneur Leader, designed to expand talent development for AI and startup companies. Meeting the Needs of Emerging Industries These new roles reflect BuildWithin’s focus on high-demand fields: Additional roles, including Conservation Associate , Operations Specialist , Program Coordinator , Case Coordinator , and Volunteer Coordinator , expand opportunities across various industries such as energy, environment, education, and healthcare, among others. "As a startup founder, I’ve seen just how overwhelming the early years can be—and it’s no surprise that’s when most startups fail," said Ximena Hartsock, CEO of BuildWithin. "Startups are the backbone of the innovation economy; every big business started small. Yet, tech startups—and the opportunities to build them—are still largely concentrated in big cities and tight-knit networks. This apprenticeship is about changing that. By preparing more aspiring founders with the tools and skills to navigate those critical early stages, we can help more startups succeed, spark new innovations, and create a pipeline of strong startup leaders." "The Prompt Engineering Apprenticeship is an important step in addressing the growing demand for AI expertise," said Chris Tonjes, CIO of the DC Department of Labor. "This program is about equipping apprentices with the skills they need to design effective prompts and make AI more precise, adaptable, ethical, and useful in real-world applications."

PUB: 12/19/2024 03:39 PM/DISC: 12/19/2024 03:37 PM http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241219612129/enLOWELL — Add a cyber center tied to national security to the ever-expanding portfolio of companies doing business with the Lowell Innovation Network Corridor, a transformative public-private partnership unveiled earlier this year through UMass Lowell. Science Applications International Corporation, a global leader in technology integration, signed an agreement with the university to establish a cyber center that will strengthen the resilience of the defense industrial base and expand the pipeline of skilled cyber professionals across the region. The signing ceremony was held at the UMass Club in Boston Wednesday morning and attended by Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll, UMass Lowell and SAIC leadership, as well as state and local dignitaries. “Our administration has been laser-focused on competing for our nation’s leading companies to grow here in Massachusetts, and on providing opportunities to advance and grow our state’s workforce,” Driscoll said. “This partnership prioritizes our state’s innovation economy while also ensuring we’re setting our state, and our country, up for a safer cyber future.” The new cyber center will extend SAIC’s footprint beyond UMass Lowell’s Applied Research Corporation at Hanscom Air Force Base. The center will provide direct support to the U.S. Air Force’s strategic initiatives in the areas of command, control, communications and battle management; cyber; electronic warfare; information systems; and enterprise digital infrastructure. UMass Lowell’s Cybersecurity Studies Program is designated a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Research by the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security. SAIC is investing an initial $1.3 million to create an anticipated 30 jobs. The funds will increase access to state-of-the-art cyber research and services for local and regional businesses and nonprofits, and train the future STEM workforce through paid internships, job fairs, and training programs in collaboration with Middlesex Community College and local high schools. Chancellor Julie Chen previously said the No. 1 factor for companies when deciding where to base their operations is talent, and Lowell offered a “deep bench.” “So UMass Lowell [is] bringing 17,000-plus students, MCC bringing over 10,000 students working on their associate’s degree,” Chen said in an interview with The Sun in March. “And of course, the Greater Lowell Tech and Lowell Public Schools are all viewed by these companies as pipeline for talent.” LINC was built out from the success of UMass Lowell as a Research 1 university, which puts it in the top 4-5% in the country. It earned a No. 1 ranking for a public university in the Wall Street Journal. The university is focused on companies that align not only with its research goals and expertise, but also with state and federal priorities such as microelectronics, climate technology, robotics, cybersecurity and human performance. Under the notice of intent, the university and SAIC have also agreed to advance post-graduate employment opportunities for students and to reskill or upskill current personnel at Hanscom Air Force Base and at local defense companies. In addition, the agreement calls for collaboration with other state and federal enforcement agencies, including the Massachusetts State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation. “Establishing this center builds on the success we’ve shared with the University of Massachusetts Lowell in implementing a student internship program at Hanscom Air Force Base focused on the DOD’s critical Cloud One platform,” SAIC CEO Toni Townes-Whitley said. “This expanded partnership will help build the future cyber workforce and ensure a stream of high demand talent for the nation, as well as Hanscom’s many critical programs that directly impact U.S. and global security.” SAIC joins a hit parade of LINC partners spanning the corporate and nonprofit spectrum. Draper Laboratory, the company that operated the computer guidance system that helped land Apollo 11 on the moon, announced in March that it would be an anchor tenant at UMass Lowell’s Wannalancit location off Father Morissette Boulevard. In July, Mass General Brigham announced a collaboration to advance human performance research, followed by Bioversity, a leading Massachusetts nonprofit provider of biotech workforce training, that announced in September that it was opening a dedicated training lab and classroom facility in Lowell. Chen signed a memorandum of agreement welcoming Home Base as a partner in November. The nonprofit will offer critical resources to veterans and military families across northern and western Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine to heal from their invisible wounds. Piece by piece, the LINC vision is clicking into place to create an $800 million development plan that leverages the prestige and innovation of the university and the resources and history of the city of Lowell with the job creation capabilities of industry to envision a vibrant urban village/main street model and economic engine for the city. “It’s a great day in Lowell as we welcome SAIC and celebrate the collaboration with UMass Lowell to create a world-class cyber-research facility,” said City Manager Tom Golden, who was on hand for the ceremony. “The jobs and economic activity that come with SAIC will benefit all residents of Lowell, as we continue to build on the vision and potential of LINC and the Lowell Transformative Development Initiative.”As Elon Musk Touched $400B Net Worth, He Dropped a Lesson for ALL: UbuntuNokia Corporation: Repurchase of own shares on 19.12.2024
Arguments over whether Luigi Mangione is a 'hero' offer glimpse into unusual American momentUNITED NATIONS (AP) — Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced $200 million in humanitarian aid for conflict-torn Sudan during what was likely his final trip to the United Nations while in office. With the U.N. Security Council more divided than ever, Blinken led two meetings of the U.N.’s most powerful body on Thursday, capping his engagements with the world body after a tumultuous four years that saw war return to Europe and multiple crises in the Middle East. But neither focused on Russia’s war with Ukraine or the Mideast, where the U.S. has been frequently at odds with permanent members China and Russia and almost always in the minority when it comes to Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. Instead, in an apparent bid to produce a modicum of consensus, Blinken led Security Council sessions on artificial intelligence and Sudan , where conflict has sparked a dire humanitarian crisis that aid agencies say has not received enough attention. The money announced by Blinken will go toward food, shelter and health care for the people of Sudan. He also said the State Department will work with Congress to provide an additional $30 million to elevate civilian voices to help with the transition back to democratic governance. Here’s a look at America's top diplomat at the U.N.: Why did Blinken preside over Security Council meetings? Blinken has been appearing in person and virtually before the Security Council since March 2021, just after assuming his position as the Biden administration’s top diplomat. In addition to several one-off council meetings, including one in February 2022 shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine, Blinken has gone to New York for a week every September for the annual General Assembly gathering of world leaders. The presidency of the Security Council rotates alphabetically every month among its 15 members. This month, it's the U.S. turn. The country holding the presidency almost always organizes several signature events on topics its government chooses. Presidents, prime ministers and foreign ministers often preside at these meetings, which ministers from other council nations are invited to attend. Why was the US not highlighting the Middle East or Ukraine? Russia and China have blocked all council action condemning the invasion of Ukraine. This has led U.S. officials to believe that a session on the topic, especially as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office with a stated goal of ending the war immediately, would likely be a waste of time. On the Middle East, the U.S. has frequently vetoed council action condemning Israel for its tactics against Hamas in Gaza, leaving it virtually alone at the United Nations in supporting Israel. Why was the US focusing on Sudan? War broke out in Sudan last year between rival generals heading the military and paramilitary forces. The fighting has left tens of thousands dead, forced millions from their homes and pushed a large swath of Sudan’s population to starvation — creating an often forgotten global crisis the U.S. is seeking to spotlight. The roughly $230 million in assistance announced Thursday brings total U.S. support to over $2.3 billion since the fighting erupted. Blinken said the fighting unleashed the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, and every day “brings new atrocities, attacks on hospitals, on markets, displaced persons, camps, summary executions, women and girls subjected to unspeakable sexual violence.” “We continue to see war crimes and crimes against humanity committed across vast parts of Sudan,” he said. Why did the US choose AI? The U.S. leads the world in developing AI technology, according to a recently released Stanford University index, and it has been in the forefront of U.N. action on AI. In March, the first U.N. resolution on artificial intelligence was adopted by the 193-member General Assembly. Sponsored by the U.S., it gives global support to an international effort to ensure the powerful technology benefits all nations, respects human rights and is “safe, secure and trustworthy.” Blinken said AI has the potential to do “tremendous good” but can also pose “tremendous threats to the international peace and security that this council is charged with upholding.” He noted that “repressive regimes are using AI-enabled surveillance to target journalists and political dissidents" and that "if algorithms are built into weapon systems, and if they malfunction, they could spark a conflict.” “By setting rules of the road for AI we can minimize these risks, we can harness the exceptional promise of this technology,” he said. Did Blinken confront Russia? Blinken has represented the U.S. at the Security Council about half a dozen times at meetings ranging from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to the war in Gaza. Russia, like the U.S. and China, is a permanent veto-holding member of the 15-nation council, and both have seats at its horseshoe-shaped table. But apart from pointed disagreements during debates, there have been no confrontations or one-on-one meetings between Blinken and Russian diplomats at previous U.N. meetings — and there was none on Thursday. Blinken thanked Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia after his remarks — as is custom — even though Nebenzia accused the U.S. of imposing rules on others but not abiding by them. But the Russian envoy agreed that “we cannot allow AI to dominate human beings and human values.” It is not unusual for Blinken or other senior U.S. officials to attend international meetings and conferences where Russian officials are present, but interactions are rare. ___ Lee reported from Washington.
