Be at the frontier of the next Industrial Revolution.

We are in the midst of the biggest technological revolution since the 1800s - but you wouldn't know it if you went into most classrooms today.

At FTI, we partner with frontier technologists and innovators to make sure the next generation have the skills, access, and pathways to build the technologies that will change the world.

What we do

FTI strengthens the future workforce through three integrated focus areas:

Preparing Frontier-Ready Students

We deliver courses, live training, and experiential learning programs that build durable skills in emerging technologies.

Building Frontier-Ready Institutions

We work with educational institutions to design professional development trainings, curriculum resources, and workforce alignment strategies.

Connecting Students to the Frontier

We connect students directly with frontier builders and leaders through workshops, guest instruction, and mentorship.

What we teach

We focus on emerging and frontier technologies that are going to change the world.
