Build capability that matters in practice.

Artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are changing how organisations work, make decisions and develop their people.

For many employers, the challenge is no longer simply understanding what AI can do. It is understanding what skills their people need, how those skills should be developed and how capability can be demonstrated in practice.

AIQQA works with employers to help identify these needs and support the development of relevant skills, training and assessment.

Workforce skills

Understanding workforce skills needs.

Different organisations will use AI and emerging technologies in different ways.

The skills required by a leadership team may be very different from those needed by operational teams, technical specialists or employees using AI as part of their everyday work.

This allows learning and assessment to be built around the needs of the organisation rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

AIQQA can work with employers to understand:

  1. Roles and responsibilities

    Where AI and emerging technologies are affecting roles and responsibilities.

  2. Capabilities to develop

    What capabilities employees need to develop.

  3. Skills gaps

    Where skills gaps currently exist.

  4. Good performance

    What good performance should look like.

  5. Development and assessment

    How those capabilities can be developed and assessed.

Professional training

Professional training and skills development.

AIQQA can support organisations with professional training and skills programmes across artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.

    Assessment of Capability

    Helping organisations understand whether employees can apply the knowledge and skills they have developed.

Professional training and non-regulated programmes are separate from AIQQA's future regulated qualification activity unless specifically stated otherwise.

Recognised standards

From skills needs to recognised standards.

Employer involvement is important to the way AIQQA is developing its future qualification portfolio.

We want qualifications to reflect capabilities that have value beyond the classroom and connect to how skills are actually used in practice.

Employer insight can help inform

  • Skills

    Emerging workforce skills needs

  • Outcomes

    Qualification purpose and outcomes

  • Competence

    Practical expectations of competence

  • Assessment

    Approaches to assessment

  • Standards

    How standards should evolve as technology changes
