SIM Detroit RISE is heading to Oakland Community College. 🎓 AI, Innovation & IT: Building Your Future Career is an evening with the people who actually hire in tech — hosted in collaboration with Dr. Hany Othman, Computer Information Systems & Information Technologies Faculty Chair, and Jessica Knapik, Economic & Workforce Computer Support Specialist Program Coordinator and Career Services. Students will hear where AI is taking the industry, put their questions directly to working IT professionals, and meet them over light refreshments afterward. 🗓 Monday, November 2 🕠 5:30 – 7:30 PM 📍 OCC Auburn Hills Campus, Room G240 🎟 Free to attend. Light refreshments provided. The evening runs as an AI industry snapshot, a panel of IT professionals, open Q&A, and 45 minutes of networking — because the conversation after the panel is often the one that matters most. For any student thinking about a career in tech — IT, computer science, cybersecurity, or just curious — this is a room worth being in. Bring questions about skills, AI, and landing that first job. Know a student who should be there? Send this their way. Save your spot: tinyurl.com/OCCRISE2026 SIM Detroit RISE is powered by We Build Character. #SIMDetroit #RISE #OaklandCommunityCollege #AI #ITCareers #DetroitTech #Students
