University of Louisville - Digital Transformation Center (DTC) - Mint Berry Crunch - 10-18-2025
I check out the ACE National Guide time-to-time and I stumbled upon The University of Louisville Digital Transformation Center (DTC) page:
"housed within the Office of Research and Innovation, is advancing digital equity and workforce readiness by expanding access to technology, digital literacy, and industry-recognized credentials. In partnership with Microsoft, Adobe, IBM, Google, and LinkedIn Learning, the DTC provides innovative training programs in areas such as IT certification, digital literacy, and, most notably, cybersecurity.
The Cybersecurity Workforce Program stands as a flagship initiative, offering flexible, modular learning pathways that accommodate learners at every stage—from those new to the field to seasoned professionals seeking advanced specialization. The program provides several options for professional development, including shorter bundles of 3–6 modules, intermediate tracks of up to 8 modules, or the full program of 23 modules. To ensure real-world application, the program incorporates industry-specific use cases in healthcare and logistics, along with specialized learning modules in areas such as artificial intelligence, forensics, and cryptography. This approach prepares learners for both immediate entry-level employment and long-term career growth through professional development in one of the nation’s most critical and fast-growing sectors".
From what I see, there are a lot of credits to be gained from this.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Seems like this is only recent with the start dates indicating ACE recommendation as of May 1st:

I also tried looking for what it costs, but I didn't find any information on it. Guess I'll have to apply for more information and see what the associate costs are.

For those curious about these type of programs, I would highly recommend you contact or email them in order to get more details. I think these programs are partnerships from Coursera (other MOOCs providers such as EdX) and institutions. Some companies, libraries within states, etc, will provide similar options... Hopefully very affordably or free, I just love these type of cheapies and freebies available, it's like a perk for those who have a membership for something or another.
