This project represents a partnership with community colleges, industry, regional high schools, and universities to establish an industry-aligned pathway in cloud computing. Technology sectors have shown significant demand for cloud-certified information technology professionals. Collaboratively-developed and industry-led curriculum in cloud computing will lead to a Cloud Fundamentals Certification, stackable toward an Associate of Applied Science with Cloud Specialization. This project leverages existing collaborations among the institutions to create labs and share curriculum development best practices. The target audience for the project will be two-year college students, including veterans and incumbent workers. This project addresses the national call to increase the supply of qualified technicians proficient in cloud technology.In a survey of Tech Chief Financial Officers, cloud computing was selected by 74% of those surveyed as the technology that had the most impact on their business in 2017. The goal of the project is to establish an industry-aligned pathway in cloud computing to increase the supply of qualified technicians with proficiency in cloud technology. Project goals will be achieved by working with industry partners who will provide expertise and guidance in curriculum design. The project will develop products that will be disseminated to other institutions including: a new industry-led curriculum in cloud computing, a cloud literacy initiative, a professional development community of practice, and an outreach plan for military veterans.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目代表了与社区学院、行业、地区高中和大学的合作伙伴关系，旨在建立与行业一致的云计算途径。技术部门对云认证的信息技术专业人员的需求很大。合作开发和行业主导的云计算课程将导致云基础认证，可堆叠到应用科学与云专业化的副学士。该项目利用各机构之间现有的合作，创建实验室并分享课程开发的最佳实践。该项目的目标受众将是两年制大学生，包括退伍军人和在职工人。该项目响应了国家增加精通云技术的合格技术人员供应的号召。在对技术首席财务官的调查中，74%的受访者将云计算选为2017年对其业务影响最大的技术。该项目的目标是建立一个与行业一致的云计算途径，以增加熟练掌握云技术的合格技术人员的供应。项目目标将通过与行业合作伙伴合作来实现，他们将在课程设计方面提供专业知识和指导。该项目将开发产品，将传播到其他机构，包括：一个新的行业主导的云计算课程，云扫盲计划，实践的专业发展社区，和退伍军人的推广计划。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
