The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) is a national, nonprofit membership organization working to improve education-to-career pathways for adult learners. We help organizations succeed by providing expertise, resources, and innovative solutions that effectively support adult learners as they navigate on- and off-ramps between education and employment.
This six-year project will be offered across five cities to provide adult learners with access to affordable postsecondary classes, connect more job seekers to higher-wage jobs and long-term career opportunities, and encourage financial services organizations to hire more adult learners and set them up for success. CAEL has selected the Charlotte, NC, Memphis, TN, and South Florida regions as three of five locations to implement this initiative.
Build Better Careers is funded by the Truist Foundation. "Where It Starts" is a Truist Foundation multi-year initiative designed to create real, meaningful change for entrepreneurs and career-seekers in underserved communities. Truist Foundation partners with local and national nonprofits to build new, innovative programs that break down barriers and open doors for growth and success.

Big Data Analysis
ITCS 3190
Students in this course bring a solid foundation in programming, databases, data structures, distributed file systems, and distributed data processing, and are building applied skills in cloud computing and big data analysis. They can support company projects by designing and implementing data pipelines, processing and analyzing large datasets, and creating dashboards or reports that generate actionable insights. Working in teams, students apply cloud based tools and frameworks to develop practical, innovative solutions to real-world data challenges
Solving Problems with Algorithms and AI
ITCS 6114 & 8114
Our graduate learners bring strong skills in algorithm design, data structures, and computational problem-solving. They are capable of analyzing complex challenges, developing efficient solutions, and applying modern approaches—including AI and big data techniques—to real-world problems. Companies can expect motivated learners who can deliver computational thinking-oriented insights, prototypes, and optimized solutions to support decision-making and innovation.
Advertising & PR Campaign Plan
Note: Looking for companies that are B2C only. Preferably companies interested in diving into the United States market. Student-consultant groups will create a fully integrated advertising and public relations campaign for your new product or established brand. The campaign includes planning, strategy and tactic development, research, and evaluation.
Database Design and Prototype Development
ITCS 6160 & 8160
The project aims to enhance the efficiency of the service application process by transitioning from a manual to a digital system. Currently, the process involves cumbersome paperwork and manual data entry, leading to delays, inconsistencies and potential errors negatively impacting community members seeking services. The goal is to create a seamless digital workflow that automates data collection and integrates it directly into the company's Client Management System (CMS). This will not only reduce processing time but also improve data accuracy and accessibility. The project will involve analyzing the current process, designing a digital form for data collection, and developing a method to automatically input this data into the CMS. By digitizing the application process, the company can improve service delivery and operational efficiency.
