# Industry Connect

{% 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.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
