Can Agility Change the World? Bridging the Digital Divide with Agile Training
At codeX we’re developing a breakthrough education model to address the skills shortage and the digital divide, using our experience training agile teams.
We believe in changing the future, and this is a story about what we’ve learnt about agility, diversity and making real change.
We hear Houdini was a Recruiter.

Okay, not really. We made that up.
Joking aside, it is possible. Yes – you can (and should) utilize tech that wasn’t created for HR…for HR.
Sound like magic? You decide.
Craig Fisher, Head of Recruiting Innovation at Allegis Global Solutions, has been using everyday consumer tech to hack recruiting for over 25 years.
He’s got the rabbit and the hat. All you have to do is sit back and watch the show.
In only 60 minutes, Craig will unveil some invaluable tips and tricks that tech marketers use to attract consumers, then he’ll teach you how to apply those to recruiting.
Can you say, “WOW?”
Craig will also share both paid and free tools you may already have that will help you build funnels and attract the right prospects.
Just some of what will materialize before your eyes:
The Amazing things your phone can do.
Mailchimp and other mail campaign tools.
Extensions, Extensions, Extensions!
What B2B and B2C marketers can teach you about your prospecting.
Much, much more…
Those who have seen one of Craig’s webinars in the past know this is something you won’t want to miss.
Get your pencils (and your awe) prepared, because Craig is going to drop jaws.

The Role of Sustainability in Career and Workforce DevelopmentMieko Ozeki
Presented at AASHE 2014 in Portland, OR in October 2014. Sustainability offices are in a unique position on campus. With the ability to work across departmental boundaries of campus on sustainability initiatives, our offices can provide professional development opportunities for students to work on while meeting project and program objectives. Internship programs give students the chance to develop their hard and soft skills, gain work experience, and cultivate a body of work for their portfolio; all within the relatively protected setting of an academic environment. This session focuses on how we can serve as workforce trainers and career development facilitators, suggesting best practices for designing and implementing an internship program within your office.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

11. There are no magic solutions.
And: It’s always a work in progress.
But we can solve for today
in ways that
prepare for tomorrow.
12. Questions for “What Works?”
What population(s)?
What do they have?
What do they need?
What models should you choose from?
If you’re successful, how will you know?
22. What Works for Specific Populations?
● Workers in transition
● Deeply disadvantaged
● Youth
23. What works for: Workers in Transition
● Filtering process
○ Help people self-identity for agency
● Focus on transferable skills
○ Can’t feel like it’s a long haul
● Short-term training
○ Just what’s needed for near-term work
● Strong chance of employment after
○ At least short-term
○ Must be compensated
○ Pathway to longer-term work
24. What works for: Workers in Transition

● Short-term training
○ Just what’s needed for near-term work
● Strong chance of employment after
○ At least short-term
○ Must be compensated

Example:
25. Example: Catalyte, Baltimore
● Five-month training programs
● Hires graduates to work on software
projects for clients like Nike and eBay
● Offices in Chicago, Denver, and
Portland, Oregon, as well as Baltimore.
● Pays a small stipend during training,
after which pay starts at $17 an hour.
● 39% of former apprentices make six-
figure salaries after five years
26. Example: Techtonic, Boulder
● Software consulting company

In 1999 Carmel picked up Depak Chopra’s book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. He posed two questions at the beginning of the book: “If you had all the money and all the time in the world, what would you do?” and “How are you best suited to serve humanity?” Thought-provoking questions that triggered a spiritual quest within her.
Two years later, after the attack on the World Trade Center occurred and media coverage shifted to Afghanistan, Carmel learned of the oppression of women at the hands of the Taliban. She wondered how many other women worldwide suffered violence and oppression and were voiceless and unnoticed.
As a way to reach out to the women of Afghanistan, she ordered some Afghani crafts online. When they arrived she realized that the crafts were a caring bridge between her life here in California and the lives of women across the world. She was deeply moved by the story of the widow who had created the pillow she ordered. She decided to order more crafts, but she felt that by selling them in a retail store, the story might not carry across as well as it would in a more intimate venue, like her living room. She held a party at her home and invited friends. Unknown to her, a reporter from the local newspaper was invited to the party by a friend. The reporter published an article in the newspaper and soon she was getting calls to hold parties. The concept was such a resounding success that she knew she had to make a bold move.
Elsa’s story
I met Elsa at a homeless shelter. After suffering years of abuse from her husband, she was able to escape and find safety for herself and her daughter in a local shelter home that we partner with. The abuse however had taken its toll on her self-esteem, and she had given up on her dreams. One of those dreams was attending graduate school. She said to me, “how can you live your dreams in a shelter?” She joined our Rising America Program, an award winning social entrepreneur program for economically vulnerable women in the Bay Area. We trained her to sell crafts made by women around the globe who had also survived abuse. I watched Elsa transform right before our eyes. Her work at Rising International mattered. She mattered. Not only did she earn enough money to move out of the shelter, her support team at Rising International helped her secure the scholarships needed to attend graduate school. Today, just two years later, she works for a leading tech company in Silicon Valley!
Rising International believes everyone deserves the chance to rise.
