Emeritus, a provider of accessible education globally, has partnered with Bloomberg Media. Together, they will launch courses on cutting-edge topics like AI, sustainability, finance, and technology, offering real-world insights from industry experts.
80% of global professionals prioritize upskilling for career success, with 53% concerned about tech skills becoming outdated. Global courses offer opportunities to develop workforce skills, including in emerging technologies. The first AI Strategy cohort starts in Summer 2024.
The programs will provide employers and employees with real-time examples of how fast-moving fields like AI and technology are evolving.
