Hopeworks CEO Dan Rhoton explains how AI is a tool for helping young people build meaningful careers.
Hopeworks, a nonprofit social enterprise operating in Camden, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, offers young adults facing barriers to economic opportunity critical technological training in AI-augmented skills, including web development, data visualization and geographic information systems (GIS). Utilizing components of the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, its mission is to provide a strong foundation for the modern workplace, transforming participants into users of technology, rather than just consumers of it.
