The NQLN recognized the lack of, and need for, a standardized quantum taxonomy, adaptable curriculum, and targeted training to include the broad participation of network organizations to design and address the need for historically underrepresented groups in quantum science and industry. NQLN’s early program focus includes:
National Quantum Literacy Week (NQL Week) will be the premier nationwide event for promoting the advancement of historically underserved groups and communities in the new emerging quantum industry. The inaugural National Quantum Literacy Week will build awareness to market opportunities, provide learning resources, and connect potential participants, employees, and employers black, brown, and first-generation communities.
At the NQL Week, the NQLN team will introduce Quantum Literacy as an emerging field of study and industry training strategies. The team will also showcase the availability of innovative micro-credential certification platforms designed and targeted to individualized instruction powered by artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing. NQLN will provide focused modules to introduce, and instruct, non-technical users to skills needed to obtain employment in the quantum market.
Adequate financial investment is critical to empower success for new learners and diverse communities. NQLN seeks to raise $100 million for a dedicated development fund from government, philanthropy, and corporate workforce development partners. Scholarship funds will provide assistance to students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, community colleges, trade and training schools. These institutions and other innovative educational programs serve the needs of the national workforce for competitive advantage and national security.
