# Industry Connect

Discovering Opportunities in Data, AI, and Automation

{% hint style="success" %}
**LaunchBoard** and **Code Black Indy** have proposed an **automation lab** to continue the momentum of the Industry Connect program. [**Learn more here >**](/industry-connect-2024/automation-lab/proposed-automation-lab.md)
{% endhint %}

[**LaunchBoard**](https://launchboard.app) and [**Code Black Indy**](https://codeblackindy.org/) offered the Industry Connect program to raise awareness about STEM career paths and provide hands-on experiences with *robotics* and *data analytics* for high school students in the Arlington Woods neighborhood of Indianapolis. The founding cohort of students chose to follow one or both program tracks to develop entry-level skills that provide an on-ramp to engaging industry opportunities, like internships and further certifications. Stay tuned as more opportunities are offered through Industry Connect.

*Industry Connect Founding Cohort: November 2023 - September 2024*

The [**founding cohort of Industry Connect**](/industry-connect-2024/founding-cohort/program-details.md) was made possible through funding from the Fifth Third Foundation Neighborhood Investment Program focused on empowering black futures.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.launchboard.app/industry-connect-2024/industry-connect.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
