Pre-RFPEducation & TrainingDetected Jun 15, 2026

S. program is being significantly revised to align with "future ready" skills for data science careers based on advisory board feedback. Several introductory computing and spreadsheet courses are being deleted and replaced with a more technical sequence including Introduction to Python Programming, Database Concepts, Introduction to Data Analytics, and SQL for Data Analytics, alongside multiple prerequisite revisions across analytics and data modeling courses.This redesign moves the program toward a coherent, analytics-focused pathway that will demand updated learning resources, datasets, cloud or desktop analytics tools, and possibly industry certifications. Vendors offering data analytics curriculum, lab environments, software access (SQL, Python, visualization tools), and capstone/project support can partner with the college as they retool courses and align them with employer expectations outlined by the advisory board.

Multiple course prerequisites (CAP1788, CAP2704c, CAP2762, CTS2455, IDC2114, CIS2598) are updated to create a scaffolded analytics sequence.

The agenda calls for an AOD symposium planning update. AOD likely refers to alcohol and other drugs, and the item suggests the task force is still shaping the event rather than awarding work. That makes this useful for training, event support, and speaker or logistics follow-up.
