The college recently announced that it is collaborating with Ordify AI to prepare students for AI careers and work with businesses on AI solutions.
The initiative is set to start in the spring semester, which begins Jan. 28.
Work with local businesses is scheduled to start in summer 2026, according to a news release.
Guided by UW-Parkside faculty, students, including those in the college’s App Factory, will create custom AI agents to address business problems and create AI solutions.
Steve Donovan, UW-Parkside executive director for Parkside Works, said in the release that the partnership “represents the future of applied learning.”
“Students involved in the program will gain invaluable practical skills, including client-facing AI development, solution architecture and proposal writing, equipping them with the essential soft skills needed to thrive in this new AI age,” he said.
Local businesses can then use Ordify's no-code AI platform.
Roger Lam, Ordify AI CEO/founder, said in the release that the company is excited about the partnership.
"Our no-code platform, combined with the fresh perspectives and technical expertise of UW-Parkside students, will deliver powerful, cost-effective AI solutions that can truly transform businesses by automating complex processes and enhancing operational efficiency,” he said.
The alliance was brought together by the Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood, a regional innovation hub.
