Guild, an employee experience tool, announced a first-of-its-kind bundle of AI skilling programs designed to support the 112 million frontline workers most at risk of needing to change occupations in the near future due to AI-related shifts in the workplace.

To begin to close the significant skills gap in AI knowledge and usage, and provide a solution for employees and employers to tackle this timely need, Guild is expanding its Learning Marketplace to include more programs to meet this growing demand through a first-of-its-kind AI skilling bundle featuring more than 40 programs. The programs are offered through quality, innovative institutions including eCornell, Louisiana State University, Southern New Hampshire University, University of Maryland Global Campus, and Wilmington University.

“We are past the moment for theoretical musing on what the impacts of AI might be for workers across the United States,” said Bijal Shah, Chief Experience Officer and Head of Platform at Guild. “The AI revolution is here. We have a responsibility to help our nation’s workforce turn the risks of today into skills that could lead to an exciting new job tomorrow, perhaps even in a role that didn’t exist two years ago. The most successful companies will be those who harness today’s excitement around AI to invest in their people to build the hard-to-obtain skills, knowledge, and capabilities needed in an AI-powered future.”

Through Guild’s Career Opportunity Platform, learners will be able to explore the newly added AI skilling programs, understand how they fit in with their broader career goals, and gain the tools they need to compete in the future of work, funded by their employer. These programs have been designed to meet learners where they are, regardless of level or technical proficiency. Unlike the majority of existing AI programs, many of the programs offered will not require a Bachelor’s degree, including several that can be taken without any prior educational experience.


Sapia.ai, the Smart Interviewer™ platform powered by deep-learning AI, launched Talent Hub for recruiters and hiring managers, halving the average time spent by user in making hiring decisions.

With Talent Hub, Sapia.ai users can easily and quickly compare candidates across key selection criteria enabling faster decision making and giving them time back to spend on more valuable activities.

Sapia.ai CEO Barb Hyman said: “No recruiters time is served well by spending all day screening candidates. For a typical recruiter, Talent Hub reduces the number of clicks to review and shortlist candidates by a stunning 75% making a recruiters job faster and much less frustrating. That’s game changing for overworked recruiters.

Talent Hub is available via the Sapia.ai platform and integrates directly with Applicant Tracking Systems such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, SmartRecruiters and iCIMS.
