How We Used AI to Build Career Pathways for Underserved Students—Without More Staff or Budget
Bear Down Gym 210
Inclusive career pathways are a priority for everyone, but 'capacity' is usually the roadblock. At Pima Community College, we broke that barrier. By combining AI-driven scale with deep community roots—including partnerships with our Native American Student Club and the Gospel Rescue Mission—we’ve built pathways that honor students’ cultural identities and lived experiences. Join us to see how we’ve personalized career support for diverse identity groups and walk away with a replicable model you can use to meet your students exactly where they are.
