Summary: CICP is one of six regional organizations selected for the inaugural AI Readiness Lab, developed by Opportunity@Work and the Brookings Institution. The initiative will examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping regional labor markets, particularly career pathways for workers skilled through alternative routes rather than four-year degrees.
Why it matters for Indiana: Indiana will help develop and gain early access to strategies for protecting economic mobility as AI changes entry-level and gateway occupations.
