While Generative AI is transforming the workforce, Humanities students often lack technical portfolios to prove relevance in a tech-centric economy. This session presents a tri-divisional model—Fredrickson Family Innovation Lab, Fairfield Meditz Career and Professional Development, and University Advancement—using “Vibe Coding” (natural language programming) to expand career pathways. Career Development translates workforce demands into training competencies, and students learn to manage AI agents to build functional prototypes without traditional coding, thus becoming AI-literate innovators. The training concludes with a vibe coding competition with alumni as mentors, judges, and speakers, strengthening advancement through innovation-focused engagement.
