About
As technology continues to advance, it demands a whole new set of skills and roles, transforming traditional talent pipeline strategies at an unprecedented pace and intensifying the challenges of talent development and recruitment.

The rise of AI tools has created a significant skills gap, with fewer than one skilled employee available per open role. This shortage has impacted talent availability and skills fluency, making it increasingly difficult to find qualified individuals. In fact, 70% of leaders report greater challenges in hiring AI-skilled talent compared to other hard-to-fill roles.

Join our upcoming complimentary webinar to explore innovative, non-traditional approaches for reimagining your talent pipeline strategies. In this 60-minute event organised by HRO and Coursera for Business, discover proven methods for cultivating a sustainable learning culture and thriving with upskilling as well as reskilling initiatives in the age of AI.

During this virtual event, you can look forward to a panel discussion covering:
  • Strategies for effective AI upskilling: How to establish a clear strategy aimed at addressing skill gaps, as well as engage and excite employees about the prospect of AI upskilling.
  • Structure and implementation of a strategic reskilling initiative: How to define clear goals for your pipeline, as well as aligning them with real-world skils and hands-on learning experiences.
  • Measuring outcomes and benefits: Implementing upskilling and reskilling strategies customised to meet your organisation's specific needs and objectives, such as sustainability and scalability.
  • Navigating this transformation with Coursera's GenAI Academy.

    You can’t afford to miss out on the efficiencies of understanding how a rapidly evolving business landscape translates into skill objectives. Let’s come together to build an upskilling foundation that truly bridges the gap!
