ABC13's Who's Hiring Job Fair focuses on how you can get a career working with AI

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- With more attention to artificial intelligence, our ABC13 Who's Hiring Job Fair featured a way to learn more about AI and how you can get a career around it.

This Thursday, we partnered with Workforce Solutions. During the virtual event, we had a guest from Houston Community College talk about the school's newest bachelor's degree focused on AI.

Workforce Solutions said it looked at the Houston workforce and how it could be impacted by AI. It discovered nearly half of the jobs could be automated.

HCC's Applied Technology in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics program includes courses developed by large companies that use AI so that students will have real-world experience and tools used by businesses.

In addition to talking about the AI program, we also had several immediate-hire jobs. If you applied during the event, you could land an interview in days.

There are several industries where you can land a job, from healthcare to manufacturing and hospitality. You can apply for the jobs online or call the ABC13 hotline powered by Workforce Solutions.

The number is 713-243-6663. To see the jobs, visit Workforce Solutions' website, and look for the "as seen on ABC13" section.

It also hosted its sixth annual career opportunity fair. The event ran Thursday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

There are several employers on-site at HCC's west loop campus. To learn about the event, visit their website.
