What is the Practical ML Engineering Career Frameworks course about?

Even well-executed machine learning projects stall when they can't speak the language of risk, compliance, and strategic oversight. Engineers deliver models, but without framing them in governance context, board support remains out of reach. This gap limits career growth and slows enterprise AI adoption.
