Verizon announced a $1 million grant to Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey, alongside the launch of Verizon AI Skills for America, a workforce development initiative designed to give workers, small businesses and educators practical AI skills. The grant will support technology-focused education and interactive programming at the center, giving visitors hands-on exposure to Verizon’s AI training resource. The initiative extends Verizon’s partnership with Liberty Science Center, where the company is a founding corporate sponsor of SciTech Scity, a 30-acre innovation campus under development. Governor Sherrill said the investment would help prepare New Jersey residents for jobs, while Verizon and Liberty Science Center executives described the collaboration as a way to build local access to emerging technology.
