General Assembly has launched its one-stop AI Academy, a comprehensive and customisable training programme offering flexible AI courses. This is the first in Singapore to provide classes for all organisational roles.
“Companies are rushing to adopt AI but failing to bring their workforces along. The growing disconnect between technology investments and human capabilities is a significant barrier to achieving ROI from AI. Businesses need to start building AI skills across the workforce now,” said Daniele Grassi, chief executive officer of General Assembly.
AI Academy
The academy aims to enable companies of all sizes to upskill their workforce in AI across various job roles, levels and markets in tech and non-tech areas.
General Assembly’s AI Academy allows companies to assemble the modules, depth, and context that best suit their unique needs. Learners can receive practical, expert-led, and hands-on instruction focusing on immediate AI tool applications.
The courses are divided by role: decision-makers, tech and data teams, and business and operational teams.
Future-proofing talent pipelines
“At this juncture, AI has evolved from being ‘just another tech skill’ to be learnt to be integrated into many of the everyday tools we use. AI will eventually be built and embedded into other tech skills that we learn from here on out, and we see the ever-growing importance of helping workforces be equipped for this evolution in their existing skill sets. As Singapore looks towards harnessing AI, continuously reskilling and upskilling the local talent pool is key to building diverse and future-proof talent pipelines,” said Sima Saadat, Singapore country manager, General Assembly.
