The AI Skills Gap is Growing
and Your College Can Help Close It
By 2030, AI is expected to create 170 million new jobs while displacing 92 million others worldwide. At the same time, employers report that skills gaps are the biggest barrier to business transformation, and 85% plan to invest in workforce upskilling and reskilling.
New AI tools, workflows, and technologies are emerging constantly and employers are looking for professionals who know how to work with them.
The problem? There aren’t enough people with practical AI skills.
Colleges, universities, and training centers that offer workforce-aligned AI education can help learners prepare for the changing job market while helping employers address growing talent shortages.
