BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – Baton Rouge Community College is partnering with the tech company IBM to offer a free cyber security course.The IBM Skills build course helps people understand technical careers.According to the Dean of STEM at BRCC, Raven Dora Williams, the cyber security industry is facing a critical labor shortage, and they are working to close that gap with a 10-week course.“We understand now that there is an opportunity for learners to develop technical skills and not have to leave the state,” Williams said. A growing digital footprint leads to more chances your information can get hacked, and the people certified to protect you from getting hacked remain scarce.“Many of our students really do not understand that security is a big issue with technology,” said David Sylvester, Computer Science Professor/Program Manager at BRCC.Students will gain skills in data security protocols, vulnerability assessment tools, system forensics, and more.“There are often many cyber security breaches that we hear about across all industries so students or learners can learn skills where they can acquire jobs that will allow them to protect an organization’s information,” Williams said.To register, students must be 18 or older.CLICK HERE to register.

IBM, which recently announced its upcoming role as an Associate Pathway Partner of the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), commissioned Morning Consult to survey 3,250 global business leaders and found less than half of respondents claim to be measuring scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, though nearly 60% say they are ready to publicly report on their environmental impact. For scope 3 (the most difficult category to measure), 45% of business leaders feel ready to report data but just 38% claim to be measuring scope 3 emissions .

The focus on AI courses is part of IBM’s goal to train 30 million people with tech skills by 2030 under SkillsBuild, its free education programme launched in 2019, designed to help adults and students find new job opportunities. Software company IBM aims to provide free training in artificial intelligence (AI) to two million people, including from Singapore, by the end of 2026.

Forty-five percent of companies believe they are ready to report on their Scope 3 greenhouse emissions by 2024, according to a recent poll of leaders in IT and sustainable strategy conducted by Morning Consult for IT giant IBM. Luiz Amaral, CEO of Science Based Targets initiative, said earlier this year that companies often point to a lack of access to supplier data as a major challenge in tracking and reducing Scope 3 emissions — a common theme in Scope 3 discussions and one that is reflected in executive surveys .

IBM Food Trust is a traceability platform that utilizes blockchain technology to monitor the production process of global brands. Through a partnership between IBM Food Trust™ and the Shping App, Australian consumers can now access comprehensive information about the origin and traceability of products.

While there are clear separations between compute and memory in the layouts of the other architectural implementations, it’s clear that the memory and logic are more tightly intertwined in NorthPole which should significantly improve its energy efficiency. Depending on the application and architecture, more energy can be spent on moving data than on performing the actual computational portion of the workload, so memory is closely coupled with compute and placed within only a few microns.

Jason McGee, CTO of IBM Cloud, discusses how industry leaders make innovation happen in their changing markets and where these transformations will take us next. Led by Natalie Brooks Powell, GTM Leader for the IBM Center for Cloud Training, this episode will focus on the future of Cloud including:

The NORDTech Hub is located at the Albany NanoTech Complex, a public/private semiconductor R&D facility, and has multiple objectives including the development of advanced semiconductor processes; cultivation of a semiconductor industry talent pipeline by educating new cohorts of scientists, engineers, and technicians; and serving as an incubator for new semiconductor startups. Tirias Research expects that the US CHIPS and Science Act, including the announcement of the DoD’s ME Hubs, will have a similar effect and will boost the US semiconductor industry’s fortunes just as the VHSIC program did four decades ago.
