Skillsoft, a popular learning platform, has recently launched its ChatGPT Learning Journey. This is the first course in a series of AI-driven courses that aim to enable organizations and their employees with the skills required to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethically and productively. With the rising impact and popularity of Generative AI, this course is expected to address the skills gap that exists in organizations.
The CEO of Skillsoft, Jeffrey R. Tarr, stated that Generative AI will impact nearly every knowledge worker, creating an unprecedented upskilling and reskilling need for organizations and their employees. Our ChatGPT Learning Journey is another step in our efforts to address this challenge head-on and ensure our customers are able to seize the opportunity represented by generative AI, all while doing so in a safe and ethical manner.
According to the World Economic Forum, AI and machine learning specialists are expected to generate one million new roles by 2027, making it the fastest-growing job in 2023. IT decision-makers in Skillsoft’s recent IT Skills and Salary Report also stated that AI is among the top 10 most difficult skills to hire and the top three areas of investment for organizations.
Skillsoft’s ChatGPT Learning Journey is a combination of on-demand courses and practical experiences that provides a comprehensive exploration of the technology. It begins with an introduction to large language models and their capabilities, progressing through practical applications, advanced techniques, industry impacts, and key ethical considerations. The journey also includes a chance to gauge an individual’s expertise in generative AI through Skillsoft’s Benchmark Assessments.
Skillsoft has a history of utilizing AI for impact. Skillsoft’s Codecademy recently launched an Intro to ChatGPT course that supports hands-on coding and programming with AI language models. Skillsoft has also integrated AI technology into various areas of its platform, including generating lesson descriptions, personalizing content packages based on skill needs, and automating the generation of assessment questions for learners.
The ChatGPT Learning Journey is expected to fill the skills gap that exists in organizations by providing employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to leverage the capability of AI. As the job market is changing rapidly, up-skilling and reskilling will become more important for employees and organizations alike. Skillsoft’s initiative is expected to play a significant role in enabling employees to stay relevant in their jobs and be productive, while also ensuring ethical use of AI technology.
