As industries face a critical skills gap, the traditional path from education to employment is being reevaluated. The role of AI in workforce development is gaining traction, with businesses increasingly adopting machine learning tools to optimize operations, with profound implications for workforce development.

How can businesses effectively align AI with their strategic goals while supporting their employees’ career development?
