Business Focus:
The Center for Advanced and Emerging Technology will deploy corporate training spaces. The intent is to provide a space where companies and the community can offer short-term training on new technologies, such as teaching programmers to use Ruby on Rails, or introducing employees to new engines, fuel systems, applications, software, industrial robots, e-commerce tools, records management systems and more. If you were to design a game-changing training on a new technology for our organization, what would the training be like? What technology would be the focus of the training? How would the training be delivered?
