Panther Advanced Technology Hub: Revolutionizing Workforce Development Through Industry

Palm Beach State College (PBSC) has partnered with TMRW Sports to create the Panther Advanced Technology Hub, an innovative workforce development initiative that bridges the gap between education and industry. This groundbreaking collaboration leverages cutting-edge technology and real-world experience to prepare students for high-demand careers in sports technology, cybersecurity, data engineering, and related fields. TMRW Sports has selected PBSC as the exclusive home of TGL, its innovative golf league in partnership with the PGA Tour, fusing advanced tech and live action in primetime on ESPN. The Panther Advanced Technology Hub represents a creative adaptation of traditional internship programs and industry partnerships. By integrating TGL, a tech-infused sports league, into the educational ecosystem, PBSC has created a unique learning environment that combines sports, technology, and business. The impact of the hub is already evident in the successful placement of PBSC students in internships and full-time positions with TMRW Sports. The internship program has a strategic focus on high-demand technical and operational roles.
