MyComputerCareer Updates IT-Training Program to Serve and Support Today’s Learners

Published

on

Refreshed Curriculum Will Emphasize Building the Skills Needed (Yes, AI Included) to Enter the Industry Confidently and Find Success

APEX, N.C., June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Some of these stats may seem familiar because they’re cited often, but let’s set the scene appropriately:

514,359 cybersecurity job openings were posted in the United States last year. Roughly 1/4 of those roles has no qualified candidate to fill the positionIn 2026, 90% of organizations will be negatively impacted by the IT skills shortage. (IDC)93% of tech leaders say their teams lack the staff and skill sets to deliver on their priority initiatives in 2026Only 35% of Americans now say a college education is “very important,” down from 53% in 2019 and 75% in 2010 (Gallup)

“We believe when you support the person as much as the professional, you create students who don’t just survive the future of technology, but actively shape it,” said Amy Onuska, CEO of MyComputerCareer.

In short, skills for learners of every age from every background are more critical than ever in the IT industry, and MyComputerCareer (MyCC) is once again innovating to meet today’s learners and the organizations looking to hire them.

Following a lengthy review, the MyCC leadership team determined it was time for a refresh to hyper-focus on developing a skilled student who is able to think critically and autonomously as they work to enter a competitive industry requiring lifelong learning. The specifics? The school’s Information Technology Security & Administration (ITSA) program will feature:

Four core certifications: CompTIA Sec+, CompTIA Net+, Microsoft AI 901 (AI fundamentals) and Microsoft AZ 104 (Cloud Administration)AI concepts and practice woven throughout every courseThe addition of a MyCC intro course providing “tech essentials”Continued emphasis on student support systems like mentors and tutoring to ensure successContinued focus on soft skills through the school’s Pathways programA digital portfolio for every student to highlight skills in, and out of, the classroom

The refreshed ITSA curriculum will also positively impact the school’s advanced learning platforms, providing the core concepts needed to navigate MyCC’s Cybersecurity Specialist (CSS), Cybersecurity Engineer (CSE), and Associate programs.

“We’ve designed these updates with one major goal in mind, to prepare students to enter the IT industry of 2026 and beyond with the skills and confidence needed for success,” said Darlene Cernoch, VP of Education at MyComputerCareer. “This is a very deliberate and strategic shift from not only providing the tools and support for learners to gain knowledge of technology and how it works, but to becoming an independent thinker who is curious and ready for the next challenge as a successful contributor in the IT industry.”

Today’s world of work is creating two groups: those who utilize AI and create the future, and those who get left behind. Responding to this growing demand, MyComputerCareer is incorporating AI throughout every course. “We have one certification course for AI in Microsoft’s AI-901, and students will leverage AI skills learned in every class. That might include resume development, building a bot that may act as a tutor, developing a study guide, and more,” Cernoch said. She also noted MyCC isn’t teaching to a specific AI or LLM to purposely broaden knowledge of the tech.

Additional updates to the learning platform worth highlighting. Let’s talk about labs. In IT training, pre-built, simulated labs are fairly common. MyComputerCareer’s refreshed program features a shift to real-time, custom-learning labs and virtual machines to enable students to effectively learn concepts in practical, hands-on scenarios. The digital portfolio learners will build is designed to positively impact their transition to an IT career with a resource highlighting their work and accomplishments. This level of future-focused student support is one of the reasons MyCC learners thrive in the school’s programs and in IT.

“Our updated curriculum moves beyond simple credentialing; it’s about fostering a mindset of lifelong learning,” said Amy Onuska, CEO of MyComputerCareer. “By pairing critical human support with the practical power of AI, we’re not just preparing students for a specific IT role today—we’re equipping them with the confidence and adaptability to navigate an evolving industry for years to come. We believe when you support the person as much as the professional, you create students who don’t just survive the future of technology, but actively shape it.”

MyComputerCareer’s refreshed curriculum will go live in late July and will be immediately available to new students then. You can find additional details on the ITSA program and how to enroll on the school’s website.

Since opening its doors in 2007, MyComputerCareer has equipped more than 32,000 graduates with the skills and resources needed for success, resulting in alumni working for some of the top tech companies across the country. The school welcomes students with no former experience or training in IT, and graduates come from a broad range of backgrounds – from hospitality to retail to stay-at-home parents.

Coreline Soft and Mint Medical Announce Partnership to Advance AI-Enabled Lung Cancer Screening

Published

on

By

HEIDELBERG, Germany and SEOUL, South Korea, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Coreline Soft and Mint Medical today announced a partnership to advance AI-enabled lung cancer screening, following more than six months of technical collaboration and integration work. Through this collaboration, Coreline Soft’s AI imaging platform AVIEW has been integrated into mint Lesion, Mint Medical’s flagship platform for structured reporting and standardized imaging data management, to support clinical lung cancer screening workflows.

The partnership supports an end-to-end workflow connecting AI-powered pulmonary nodule detection, multi-disease analysis, structured reporting, longitudinal nodule tracking, and multi-site reading management. While initially focused on Germany, where LDCT-based lung cancer screening entered statutory health insurance reimbursement in April 2026, the collaboration is designed to scale across international markets where structured and operationally rigorous screening programs are emerging.

Background: Why Germany, Why Now

Germany’s national screening framework requires double reading by independent institutions, CAD software utilization, longitudinal follow-up, quality assurance, and GDPR-compliant multi-site data management. In this context, AI’s role has evolved from optional decision support to operational necessity. What hospitals now require is not simply a high-performing algorithm, but an integrated workflow that connects detection, structured reporting, and follow-up into a reliable, scalable system. This collaboration is built to meet that requirement — and to serve as a replicable model for other national programs adopting similar standards.

“With the integration of Coreline Soft’s AI solution into mint Lesion, we are specifically addressing the requirements of lung cancer screening and enabling scalable, quality-assured workflows, longitudinal follow-up, and optimized interaction with AI results. Coreline Soft contributes an established and clinically validated solution that complements our structured reporting workflows very well. The partnership also allows us to bring the full workflow to our markets in a consolidated way and provide hospitals with seamless access.”
— Onur Özek, Managing Director, Mint Medical

“Coreline Soft has developed AI that goes beyond pulmonary nodule detection, analyzing findings related to lung cancer, COPD, and coronary artery calcification from a single chest CT through opportunistic analysis. Mint Medical’s mint Lesion platform connects those AI-derived findings to structured reporting and longitudinal patient management, which is exactly what Germany’s national screening infrastructure demands. When detection, structured reporting, and follow-up management are joined in a single operational flow, AI becomes the infrastructure that transforms how a healthcare system operates.”
— Jin-Kook Kim, CEO, Coreline Soft

Coreline Soft’s AVIEW has been applied in over 2.5 million real-world clinical reads across hospitals in 19 countries, and is the adopted AI solution in major lung cancer screening initiatives including HANSE (Germany), IMPULSION (France), and RISP (Italy).
Through the mint Lesion platform, partner technologies are incorporated directly into the radiologist’s reading process, supporting standardized data collection from medical images. The open environment allows radiologists to utilize AI-augmented third-party applications while documenting findings in a structured format.
The integration of AVIEW into mint Lesion is designed to enable AI-detected lung nodule findings to be incorporated into structured reporting workflows, supporting Lung-RADS classifications, volume doubling time (VDT) calculations, and follow-up planning. This helps reduce manual workload and improve consistency across multi-site lung cancer screening operations.

About Coreline Soft
Coreline Soft is a medical AI company that develops and commercializes AI-powered chest CT imaging software. Its flagship AI platform, AVIEW, simultaneously detects pulmonary nodules, quantifies emphysema, and assesses coronary artery calcification from a single low-dose chest CT — delivering multiple clinical insights without additional imaging.

About Mint Medical
Mint Medical, a Snke company, is a global leader in software solutions for structured reporting and data-driven radiology. Its flagship platform, mint Lesion, streamlines the diagnostic workflow in clinical routine and research by transforming medical images into high-quality, reproducible data. Mint Medical provides a vendor-neutral ecosystem that integrates advanced, AI-augmented solutions from third-party partners — including automated lesion detection and segmentation — directly into the radiologist’s reading process. By bridging the gap between imaging findings and standardized clinical criteria, Mint Medical enables the precise, longitudinal assessments essential for the advancement of precision medicine.

Vibefam Raises US$1 Million to Build an AI-Powered Operating System for Fitness Businesses

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE and NEW YORK, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vibefam, the all-in-one operating system for fitness businesses, announced the completion of a US$1 million seed funding round led by a Singapore-based family office with a strong track record of backing category-defining technology companies. In addition to capital, the investor brings deep operating insight and a network built through years of supporting founders and working alongside leading venture investors.

Today, Vibefam powers more than 700 fitness locations worldwide and serves over 500,000 end users. The platform supports a diverse range of fitness businesses, including Pilates studios, yoga studios, strength and conditioning gyms, dance academies, martial arts schools, and boutique fitness brands.

The investment will accelerate Vibefam’s mission to help fitness businesses launch, operate, and scale through a unified platform that combines operations, payments, customer engagement, and growth solutions within a single platform.

The funding comes at a time when fitness operators are increasingly seeking intelligent operating platforms that unify operations, payments, and customer engagement, replacing fragmented technology stacks and legacy software platforms.

“Fitness businesses deserve technology that works as hard as they do,” said Serene Lim, Co-Founder and CEO of Vibefam. “Many operators still juggle multiple disconnected systems to manage bookings, payments, customer communication, marketing, and reporting. We’re building a platform that brings everything together, helping businesses operate more efficiently while delivering better experiences to their customers.”

The newly raised capital will primarily be invested into artificial intelligence and embedded financial services, two areas the company believes will fundamentally reshape how service businesses operate.

In July 2026, Vibefam will launch Vibe AI, a messaging-native customer engagement platform that allows members to interact with fitness businesses through natural conversations. From answering enquiries and recommending classes to completing bookings and re-engaging inactive customers, the platform helps businesses deliver instant service at scale without increasing administrative workload.

The company is also expanding its embedded finance capabilities through a growing network of financial partners, enabling eligible businesses to access funding directly within the Vibefam platform to support expansion, hiring, equipment purchases, and working capital needs. By leveraging operational data already available on Vibefam, eligible businesses can gain faster access to growth capital with significantly reduced paperwork and approval times.

“We believe the future of business software will be proactive, intelligent, and deeply embedded into the daily operations of every business,” Lim added. “The opportunity extends far beyond managing bookings and payments. We’re building infrastructure that helps fitness businesses acquire customers, automate operations, access capital, and make better decisions every day.”

The funding will support continued product development, strategic hiring, and the expansion of Vibefam’s AI and embedded finance capabilities as the company continues its evolution into a comprehensive operating system for fitness businesses.

About Vibefam

Vibefam is an AI-powered operating system for fitness businesses. The platform helps gyms, studios, and wellness operators manage scheduling, memberships, payments, customer engagement, reporting, and growth from a single platform. Today, Vibefam powers more than 700 fitness locations worldwide and serves over 500,000 end users.
