What is the Modern ML Engineering Career Frameworks course about?

Skilled ML engineers often find their work stalled not by technical gaps, but by misalignment with governance priorities. Without a clear framework to translate model integrity into board-relevant terms, even high-impact projects struggle to gain funding, approval, or recognition. This creates a hidden ceiling for professionals who deliver results but aren't positioned as strategic leaders.
