Thank you.

The European Union AI Act is poised to reshape how organizations develop and deploy artificial intelligence, raising the stakes for workforce readiness. For enterprises, this regulation isn’t just a compliance challenge—it’s a call to action. How do you ensure your teams possess the AI skills to not only meet legal requirements but also seize competitive opportunities? Achieving organization-wide AI literacy shouldn’t just be a box to check for European enterprises. This is an opportunity to integrate AI, a transformational technology, at every level of the organization. In the years to come, the companies that fully embrace artificial intelligence will achieve a competitive advantage compared to those that only deploy AI as a feature or product. Since the arrival of generative AI in late 2023, enterprises have built and experimented with a range of AI-powered applications. These AI tools are changing the way companies do business, empowering employees to produce more and move faster.

The investment underscores Workera's leadership in verified skills intelligence and highlights Accenture's commitment to empowering organizations with skills-based training in technology, data, and AI

The job market limbo: what’s happening and what’s next “It’s like the job market hit pause, and no one told me.” If you’ve been feeling like this lately, you’re not alone. Over the winter break, I spent time reading job forums and studies to understand what’s going on in the labor market. And I gotta say — there’s a lot of anxiety out there right now. In my (still relatively short) career, I’ve never seen white-collar professionals feeling this uncertain about the future — especially in tech. From tech layoffs to shifting roles, the uncertainty is everywhere. Aki Ito recently called this “a deep white-collar recession” in her latest article, and at NeurIPS 2024 (one of the world’s biggest machine learning conferences), KyungHyun Cho described the “anxiety and frustration” he saw among attendees. It’s not just in headlines or conferences. Scroll through Reddit communities like r/cscareerquestions, r/webdev, or r/codingbootcamps, and you’ll see the same story: worry, frustration, and confusion about what the future holds.
