In the AI era, a new academic offering can become outdated before the first cohort graduates. Almost 70% of U.S. employers struggle to fill roles, with AI skills now the hardest to find. For colleges, the wrong launch can hurt enrollment, graduate outcomes, employer relevance, and reputation. Before investing months or years, ask these three questions first.

Your employees are already using AI. The question is: do they actually know what they’re doing? Companies are investing heavily in AI tools, yet many employees are still guessing what to prompt, what to trust, and what not to share. That gap can mean wasted investment and inconsistent results. The companies that win with AI will be the ones with an AI-literate workforce. This blog discusses how to get there – what to teach, when to teach it, and how to turn AI learning into productivity, safer practices, and better decisions.
What happens when AI can do your job faster, cheaper, and around the clock? Companies are already adopting AI to automate tasks, cut costs, and rethink the human talent they need. Courts and policymakers are asking how far we should go to protect people and existing jobs from AI. But can we really preserve jobs exactly as they are while technology keeps advancing? This blog discusses why protecting people and jobs from AI is not a viable long-term strategy, why reskilling and upskilling are a shared responsibility, and what it will take to prepare the workforce for the AI era.

This blog explores six signs that it’s time for an AI update, what students need, and practical ways to bring AI into your degree portfolio.
Workforce Pell is officially here, but are colleges and universities ready to move fast enough?

AI training requires investment, but the cost of inaction may be far greater. As AI continues to reshape industries, organizations that fail to develop AI skills across their workforce risk falling behind competitors, missing productivity gains, and limiting the return on their AI investments. This blog explores the hidden costs of AI skill gaps, the impact on business performance and competitiveness, and why workforce AI training has become a strategic necessity.

Read how the partnership launched in record time and turned talent shortages into a competitive advantage.
