An open offer / Community college students & career services

A 50 year journey in IT.
Now I want to help you start yours.

I'm Curt Cornum. After a rewarding career building enterprise solutions, I retired to help future technologists launch their careers. This is a standing offer to community college students and their career services teams. No fees. No hidden agendas.
Just honest guidance from someone who likes to put technology to work.

Prerequisites: Insatiable curiosity. Tech optimist.
Who you'd be working with

Builder - Practitioner - Evangelist

Recently retired enterprise tech professional, most recently a Senior Solutions Architect working on large-scale secure networks. United States Marine Corps veteran who worked on fighter jets aboard the USS Midway.
These days I build network tools under NetPotent.com, experiment with agentic AI at TrucMunroc.ai, do random acts of kindness through StickmenUnited.org, and post candid tech-related videos on LinkedIn.

What I can offer

A menu, not a package.

Pick whatever offering sounds timely and useful. All offerings are free.

Why this matters now

The AI conversation, told straight.

I care most about helping students navigate what AI is actually doing to entry-level IT: which doors are closing, which are opening, and how to add value while the ground is shifting.
