Community-based Learning and AI Innovations: Call for Proposals Webinar

While traditional internships have long been the standard for career readiness, overwhelming demand for experiential career preparation has created a need for scalable new approaches. To meet this moment, with support from Google.org, USU is leading a project to highlight and scale career-focused community-based learning (CBL) enhanced by AI. Up to ten case study proposals will be accepted and awarded a $3,500 honorarium to contribute to a case study collection, participate in a year-long working group, and receive priority for additional opportunities to fund CBL projects that use AI as a tool to enrich and expand impact. Proposals are being accepted from USU member institutions through December 15, 2026. 00:00 Introduction to Webinar 02:32 Introduction to APLU's Digital Transformation for Student Success Team 08:55 Overview of the Community-based Learning & AI Project 21:55 Call for Proposals Timeline & Process 31:48 Frequently Asked Questions 34:46 Questions
