Today, the Greater Washington Partnership<\/a> announced that it has added new university and business partners to the Capital CoLAB (Collaborative of Leaders in Academia and Business)<\/a>. Marymount University was officially welcomed into the group on the academic side, while Deloitte US joined on the business side.<\/p>\n

The Capital CoLAB, Greater Washington Partnership\u2019s talent and skills initiative, is an action-oriented partnership that brings together the leaders of the region\u2019s top academic institutions and largest employers to shape the diverse digital tech talent ecosystem. CoLAB\u2019s programs span K-12 school districts, community colleges, universities and large employers who are all working to ensure that the Capital Region \u2013 from Baltimore to Richmond \u2013 offers pathways to digital tech employment while expanding and diversifying the learners who pursue it.<\/p>\n

Marymount, with its main campus in Arlington, Va., and an enrollment of about 3,300 students, is well-equipped to maximize its CoLAB partnership.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Strategic Plan vision<\/a> at Marymount is to achieve national recognition for our unmatched, innovative curriculum, and that is why Capital CoLAB is an ideal partner for us,\u201d said Dr. Irma Becerra, President of Marymount University. \u201cWhile analytics, cloud computing and artificial intelligence may usually be associated with areas like IT and computer science, we recognize these fields are changing all disciplines. We are integrating these fields into all of our programs, from health care to interior design. We\u2019re also planning to launch an engineering program that will expand STEM opportunities for our students.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese initiatives will result in the development of uniquely qualified talent which will take the Capital Region to the next level, and we\u2019re proud to team up with Capital CoLAB to create tomorrow\u2019s leading global knowledge hub.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Spring 2021, Marymount will launch the Digital Tech Credential program through Capital CoLAB \u2013 an effort to integrate digital and tech skills into higher education curricula with real-world applications. The credential is earned by completing a series of courses selected by the University, and is available to every enrolled student at no extra cost. This provides in-demand skills that further qualify students\u2019 career track eligibility beyond a traditional four-year degree.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to welcome Marymount and Deloitte into the CoLAB,\u201d added Dr. Jeanne Contardo, Vice President and Managing Director of the Capital CoLAB. \u201cMarymount University, with its driven leadership and faculty, as well as its diverse student population and industry-aligned programs, will be a key player in our efforts to reach 45,000 students with digital tech credentials \u2013 at least 50 percent of whom will be from underrepresented backgrounds \u2013 by 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
