We are pleased to announce that ITD, in partnership with the County Administrator, has been recognized for the Women’s Hall of Fame Youth Scholarship Program by the Center for Digital Government!
Our team executed project excellence flawlessly, starting by developing eligibility criteria, promoting the program, managing the application process, and organizing the selection of scholarship recipients. We implemented an online application form, set up Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, and created a Power BI report. Youth applicants could save and submit their applications later. By leveraging the Microsoft ecosystem—Teams, SharePoint, Planner, and Power BI—both the CAO event coordinator and ITD developers could easily track tasks and view real-time application submissions via the Power BI report. The website was also ADA compliant and mobile-friendly!
Additionally, an AI model was created to evaluate the applications, which was then compared to the manual evaluation process. The judges were advised to review the AI analysis alongside human feedback to ensure a fair and comprehensive evaluation.
