NEXT Apprenticeship
Flexible programs and degree options, industry experience, certifications and skills training for in-demand tech jobs
Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, cybersecurity, and other technologies are changing the world of work. Change is happening so rapidly that by 2020, one million tech jobs may go unfilled due to lack of skilled workers.
What if we could fill this talent gap with a skilled workforce and change lives in the process?
The University of Cincinnati, in collaboration with five partner institutions and the computing and informatics industry across the region and eastern U.S., created the NEXT Apprenticeship Program to close this talent gap by applying 21st-century apprenticeship-style training to power the future global economy. We're taking our expertise in cooperative education to the NEXT level.
