Training programs for working professionals will also be established to help them advance their skills for today's technology jobs. The university is also interested in exploring strategies to incorporate training for veterans into its core mission.

    State Chief Information Officer Chris Estes and Ben Uwakweh, dean of the School of Technology, announced the agreement.
