From finance to fashion, healthcare to hospitality, generative AI is permeating nearly every industry, demanding new strategies, policies, and skills.

In fact, according to our annual IT Skills and Salary Report – an in-depth survey of over 5,700 tech professionals worldwide – while AI is the top investment area for tech leaders, 43% say their team’s skills are at least somewhat low to low. So we’ve compiled a list of 5 courses to help you get a jump start on making sense of AI. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/emJQ4qrE

Anyone who’s dealt with budget cuts knows the frustration and stress of making do with less. Unfortunately, learning and development dollars seem to be one of the first cost-cutting areas when times are tough. But ultimately, learning and development helps close gaps while also anticipating what skills the organization will need to remain competitive long-term. When Corewell Health went through a significant merge, its learning and development team managed to protect its training investments by building and presenting an effective business case to leadership, creating a win-win situation for both itself and the company as a whole.

In our 2024 IT Skills & Salary Survey, tech leaders shared that their teams have some of the widest skill gaps in artificial intelligence/machine learning skills. These days, the rate of change is just too fast for learning programs to keep up, and there aren't enough skilled workers in the market who can help all the organizations that have big plans with AI at the center. But tech leaders plan to address this issue and invest in training their teams, augmenting with outside help in the meantime, and even bringing in generative AI to bridge the gaps. A blended approach to closing skill gaps will pay off, too, but this begs the question: Which skills do you focus on? Learn more: https://lnkd.in/etcC_n6M
