Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the job market as we know it. Rapid technological advancements and the integration of AI are leading to a critical skills gap, prompting businesses to reevaluate the traditional education to employment pathway. The use of AI in workforce development is on the rise, with companies incorporating machine learning tools to streamline operations and enhance skill development measurement and verification.
