Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke, made headlines recently when he stated that proficiency in AI is now a “baseline expectation” for all employees. Lütke is just one example of a larger shift among executives, who now see AI skills not as “nice to haves,” but as essential for the success of their business.
The problem is, most teams do not yet have the AI skills they need to make the most of this technology. A recent report found that while 95% of businesses have invested in AI, 71% of leaders say their workforces are not yet ready to successfully leverage the technology.
That’s what prompted us at CodeSignal to launch our GenAI Skills Academy, a groundbreaking program designed to help companies rapidly build AI proficiency across their entire workforce.
GenAI Skills Academy bridges a critical skills gap with hands-on, scalable learning that empowers every employee—from first-time AI users to future researchers—to lead in the age of AI.
Three paths to AI fluency
We know that “learning AI” means different things to different people. A marketer’s needs are different from a senior engineer’s. That’s why GenAI Skills Academy offers three distinct learning tracks tailored to your employees’ roles and current level of AI knowledge.
AI Use for All Employees: This track is all about boosting everyday productivity. It equips every team member with practical AI skills, like writing effective prompts, summarizing long documents, drafting communications, and automating repetitive tasks. It’s the foundation for leveraging AI tools to work smarter and faster.
AI Integration for Engineers: Ready to get your engineers building with AI? This track teaches your technical teams how to integrate powerful GenAI capabilities directly into your company’s products and services. Employees will get hands-on experience with prompt engineering, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, and leveraging OpenAI APIs.
AI Creation to Grow AI Researchers: For your most advanced technical professionals, this track is a deep dive into the core of AI. It’s designed to transform engineers into AI researchers by building a fundamental understanding of machine learning, neural networks, and natural language processing (NLP) techniques. The result will be empowering your team to develop and deploy your own proprietary AI models.
“Leaders know they need to harness AI, but many are still grappling with how to do it effectively and at scale. GenAI Skills Academy gives companies a fast, practical way to build AI fluency, equipping every employee to work smarter, move faster, and drive real innovation.”
