Achieving @POTUS’ mission of securing American AI and technological dominance requires a workforce equipped with the skills of the future.
Great to join @virginia_tech yesterday to discuss how they are working to address the skills gap and expand workforce development opportunities in Virginia and beyond!
Last year, we reached more than 500 prospective mining engineering students through various outreach, recruiting, and educational events such as Blast Day. Don’t miss your chance to support the next generation of Hokie miners! 🧡⛏️

Had a fantastic day at @virginia_tech with the @VT_Mining department! I had the pleasure of delivering a lecture on the basics of #MachineLearning for #engineers & #geoscientists, and had insightful conversations with both students and faculty. I’m truly inspired by the dedication of the faculty and the exceptional talent of the students.
A special thank you to Professor Emily Sarver and Department Head, Professor Aaron Noble, for being such gracious hosts!
