This is Our Place
Creating the Next Generation of Tech Talent
Computing-related skills are the future of everything, not just STEM. Making higher education work for all starts with giving students the computing skills they need to succeed.
Cracking the Code to Social Mobility While Meeting Workforce Needs
Computing skills are increasingly important, not just for landing a job but for building a sustainable and rewarding career. Over the next 10 years, Colorado will add 5.7M new jobs — most of which will require computing skills. With a diverse student
population and home in one of America’s hotbeds of innovation, CU Denver is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the opportunity to meet a growing workforce need.
By infusing computing into its curriculum, not just in STEM-related programs but in arts and media, business, and healthcare,
CU Denver can further promote social mobility
— and become known as a university for life.
Changing the Face of Computing
In March, the Interdisciplinary Computing Task Force published a report – “Computing Across the Curriculum” – that includes recommendations for how the university can make computing skills a core part of the university’s
academic programs.
Guided by the task force’s report, the university will work to deliver computing skills to more students by:
Closing the gap in internet and device access for students of color
Increasing access to computing-related apprenticeships and internships
Integrating computing and data ethics into existing and new courses
Creating collaboration spaces for students that offer technological support
Forming partnerships to gain better insights into the capabilities of incoming students and future workforce needs
To position CU Denver at the cutting edge of computing education, the university will pursue six “high-value projects” over the next three years. The recommendations include developing:
A virtual hub of computing and technology strategy
Sets of computational competencies related to in-demand workforce skills
Innovative academic programming to expand upon these competencies
Comprehensive support and experiential learning opportunities for students
CU Denver’s faculty, staff, and graduate students will play a direct role in helping the university realize its computing ambitions, as well as in the university’s technology infrastructure.
