AI Impact Collaborative

AI is changing what skills employers need, faster than any single institution, employer, or industry can track alone. The AI Impact Collaborative brings North Texas institutions and partners together to build a shared understanding of what that means for the region's workforce and for higher education.

Preparing the Texas Workforce for AI

AI is changing the skills employers need, which raises questions for how North Texas prepares its talent 

Research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas points to changes in early career outcomes for some Texas graduates, particularly those from fields with higher exposure to AI. In North Texas, exposure is highest in jobs that typically require a bachelor's degree. These shifts raise questions for institutions about how programs prepare students and support working adults.
