Industry 5.0 Ready: San Diego Students Building Real Projects for Real Companies
For the past six years, Greater Than Tech has been taking STEM and business education in San Diego beyond the classroom. Now we’re launching Industry 5.0 Ready, a new program for students ages 16 to 24. Students will train on digital tools and emerging tech skills, then put those skills to work building real projects for local companies. They’ll finish with a credential and a portfolio. This is the kind of experience employers look for and most classrooms can’t offer.
