Udemy launches GenAI skills pack to boost professional AI proficiency
Udemy has announced the introduction of the GenAI Skills Pack, aimed at providing organisations with resources to rapidly acquire and implement generative AI (GenAI) skills.
The new offering from Udemy, an online learning platform, consolidates over 1,700 GenAI courses into targeted learning paths for professionals across various industries.
The GenAI Skills Pack is designed to address the growing demand for GenAI knowledge in fields ranging from software engineering and data science to marketing and human resources.
Udemy's initiative is in response to feedback from its largest customers, actively seeking to integrate GenAI capabilities within their operations.
Greg Brown, President and CEO of Udemy, stated, "We developed the GenAI Skills Pack with input from some of our largest customers who are at the forefront of this next phase of digital transformation and need our support to harness the power of GenAI effectively across their organisations."
The Skills Pack offers courses that cover a comprehensive range of topics necessary for understanding and applying GenAI across different professional domains. These include AI and machine learning platforms, financial analysis, development planning, marketing strategies, sales presentations, application development, data science, and navigating AI-driven systems.
To accommodate its global user base, Udemy has localised the GenAI Skills Pack in several languages, including French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Japanese. This move aligns with the global trend of increasing interest in GenAI skills, as indicated by the Q4 2023 Global Workplace Learning Index.
Brown highlighted the importance of the GenAI Skills Pack in meeting the learning and development needs of organisations navigating digital transformation, stating, "Professionals in practically every region, role, and department need to reskill and upskill in GenAI, and now they can in an engaging way on the Udemy platform to optimise efficiency and outcomes."
