Bottom line
- CDT runs a Training & Education Center for “public sector IT professionals”: three leadership academies, three boot camps, a mainframe academy and online courses (PACe).
- It has a “GenAI Boot Camp” and a “Generative AI Technical Training” page. The state already trains its IT staff in AI.
- It does not list training in high-performance computing or in running AI infrastructure.
Background
See California Department of Technology.
