As AI and generative AI reshape the future of work, the pressure to reskill employees is intensifying. According to the latest Future of Jobs report, 60% of business leaders expect AI to transform their organizations, with 70% of job skills predicted to change by 2030. Companies are projected to spend a staggering $42 billion annually on Gen AI projects like chatbots and content generation tools.
Enter UpSkill Academy, a dynamic learning platform, which today announced a strategic partnership with AI CERTS™, a global leader in AI and blockchain certifications. This collaboration aims to empower businesses to bridge the widening AI skills gap through 48 role-based AI courses tailored for a variety of industries and job functions.
“This relationship doesn’t just allow us to help businesses bridge the gap between AI skills and AI needs; it allows us to do so at the job level, which is a game-changer,” said Dan O’Brien, VP of Innovation and Strategy at MyComputerCareer.
Employees will benefit from a flexible learning experience, choosing between live instructor-led training or self-paced, bite-sized courses designed to fit diverse schedules and learning styles.
Looking ahead, UpSkill Academy plans to double its AI course offerings through this partnership, with a focus on expanding into B2B and B2G roles. The ultimate mission: “AI for everyone.”
