What is the Modern ML Engineering Career Frameworks course about?

Even with strong technical talent, established organizations struggle to operationalize machine learning at scale. Without clear career frameworks and role definitions, ML engineers become siloed, governance lags, and projects fail to transition from experimentation to production. Leaders lack structured models to design teams, evaluate talent, or justify investment in ML-specific career pathways.
