Boosting workforce skills with O’Reilly AI Academy
The Academy helps address the current skills gap, as only 10% of workers are trained in GenAI tools.
O’Reilly has launched its AI Academy, designed to help businesses upskill their workforce in generative AI technology. The Academy offers hundreds of learning materials, including books, live events, and on-demand courses, to enhance productivity through GenAI tools.
The demand for GenAI skills has surged, with global executives planning to invest more in AI technologies. Despite this, a vast number of workers remain untrained in the tools required to implement GenAI. Only 10% of workers have gained these skills, and confidence in executives’ understanding of AI remains limited, highlighting a clear need for upskilling.
O’Reilly’s AI Academy addresses this gap, providing tailored learning tracks to meet specific industry needs. Courses focus on essential skills such as productivity enhancement and AI integration, covering roles from HR to project management. Additional role-specific tracks will be introduced, enabling even greater personalisation.
Completing these learning tracks earns participants badges and certificates, which can be shared on platforms like LinkedIn. This helps employees showcase their expertise in GenAI, empowering them to adapt and drive business outcomes in an AI-driven world.
