Today our CEO, Joanne Borduas, was a panelist during one of the breakout sessions at the 2026 Connecticut Workforce Summit in Hartford.

The topic discussed was "Speaking the same language on AI: Interactive Industry Breakout". The session created a practical way to think about the skills needed in an AI-enabled workplace.

The panelists spoke about the AI-Enabled professional framework that defines 7 competencies including AI literacy, critical thinking, ethics and maps how those skills evolve across career levels from aspiring learner to executive leader. During the session, participants applied the framework and explored the roles and career levels most affected by AI and the competencies that matter most in today's jobs.
