Students in SLPS are not being prepared for the jobs of tomorrow. Walk into most grocery stores and you see robots performing inventory. Cashiers are replaced by lanes of self-checkout. Likewise, fast-food restaurants will soon make customers order food with tablet applications. Increasingly, factory jobs are operated by highly efficient machines. The post pandemic labor shortages are forcing companies to find solutions in automation and artificial intelligence. There are only a few magnet schools that offer some computer programming. Therefore, the majority of students are not being prepared for high paying jobs in technology. The question is how can we prepare our youth. The answer is the Roy Clay Sr Computer Lab.
