AI Accelerated Careers: Setting Our Students Up for Success
We're delighted to share that we've further developed our AI training, with additional sector-specific AI training now embedded in every single learning pathway. These improved courses and pathways will give our students comprehensive AI skills, future-proofing their careers in IT, tech or project management.
It’s no secret that AI is continuing to transform every sector, and none more than IT and project management. A staggering 72% of employers expect new hires, regardless of job role, to be AI proficient.
That’s why - following the launch of our AI courses last autumn - we’ve further strengthened our focus on AI skills with additional AI training embedded into all pathways, as well as a new standalone AI Skills Accelerator pathway to help our students build the skills employers are actually looking for.
