In today’s rapidly evolving job market, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across various industries is undeniable. This session will explore how the University of Florida (UF) has successfully piloted experiential learning initiatives to prepare students from all majors for the AI-integrated workforce. These initiatives ensure that all students have the opportunity to develop needed AI competencies, allowing even those not focused on STEM fields and those who don’t know how to code to engage meaningfully with AI. Participants will gain insights into UF’s comprehensive approach to integrating AI across the curriculum to prepare students for the future of work, which includes research-based scholar programs, professional immersion activities, and creative immersive experiences. By connecting students with real-world AI applications, UF ensures that all graduates are well-equipped to meet the evolving demands of industry. Participants will learn about the different experiential learning opportunities piloted at UF that integrate AI into the curriculum; explore how UF’s AI Scholars Program has enabled students from all backgrounds to engage deeply with AI through research, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills; explore how UF’s AI Career Treks offer students in-person and first-hand experience with AI in real-world work settings, enhancing their practical knowledge and employability regardless of their major; discover how UF’s AI Days allow students to engage in hackathons, pitch competitions, and generative AI competitions, encouraging innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration, even for those without a coding background; and have a toolkit of actionable ideas and best practices, inspired by UF’s pilot programs, to create AI-engaged experiential learning opportunities at their institutions, ensuring that all students are prepared for the future workforce.
