Can you tell us a little bit about the IBM Partnership, and what benefits it will bring Hood College and its students?

This partnership allows us to integrate the IBM Skills Academy to some of the Hood classes.

It also adds tutorials, educational resources, and access to IBM services to the existing class materials. The IBM services offers skill development in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data analytics, and more.
