Forging the Future of Public-Private Partnerships

What does a community college, a top tech company, and the Army have in common? They share a desire to tackle the challenges of the future in an unprecedented way. Austin Community College and the United States Army are partners in building the Army Software Factory, a first-of-its kind software development capability to transform national security. Beyond national security, this novel partnership will also benefit underserved communities who have not typically had access to industry-leading training. Together, this results in a talent pipeline that will forever change both the Department of Defense and the world's best tech companies. Learn how we're building the future of public-private partnerships and what this means for the nation.
