WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Smoothstack, a leader in AI-driven workforce transformation, today announced its participation in the White House AI Education Taskforce and its pledge to expand AI literacy and education opportunities nationwide.
This commitment supports the White House’s Pledge to America’s Youth: Investing in AI Education and aligns with the Department of Labor’s efforts to advance AI workforce development, close the skills gap, and build a future-ready workforce.
Smoothstack’s commitment reflects its mission to advance AI education and workforce readiness by emphasizing:
- AI Literacy for Students and Educators: Supporting AI curriculum innovation that prepares classrooms for tomorrow’s technologies through immersive and personalized learning
- Equity and Access: Ensuring students in every community benefit from AI education and workforce readiness, while advancing ethical AI training and clear pathways into technology careers
- Public-Private Workforce Innovation: Partnering with the White House, the U.S. Department of Labor, and industry leaders to expand public-private AI partnerships that drive job creation and measurable career outcomes.
“Too often, opportunity feels like a locked door,” said John Akkara, CEO and Founder of Smoothstack. “Smoothstack was built on the belief that talent is everywhere, but access is not. AI is moving faster than any technology in history. If we don’t act now, our youth will be ill-prepared for the future. Our pledge is about opening doors and ensuring every student has the chance to not only witness the future but help shape it.”
As a U.S. Department of Labor–approved national registered apprenticeship program, Smoothstack’s approach emphasizes outcomes over inputs, ensuring that investments in AI education translate into real skills, placements, and long-term career success.
