The University of Tampa is adding a focus on generative artificial intelligence (AI) to its required Digital Literacy course this academic year, teaching students when and how to use AI tools in academic and professional work.

A new initiative – Upskill Together – is aiming to help universities and employers expand access to “high-demand, industry-recognized technology credentials” both for corporate and educational partners, and with scholarships for groups that are underrepresented in the tech sector.
