Internal CompTIA data shows that only 34% of companies currently require formal AI training; many others plan to offer training. Programs for such companies would be concentrating on platforms, compliance, workflows, and security.
According to Henry Mann, product development senior director, the design of the program heavily relies on “scenario-based”. He further explained that the structure allows employees to acquire skills that prepare them for work in hours. This methodology transforms learners from simply watching to being actively involved in skill development.
