One signal

Workera argues that finishing an AI course does not show whether someone can actually do the work. Its guidance is to assess the same people before and after training, using comparable tests rather than simply reusing the same questions, which can reward memory as much as learning.

That gives employers a more useful way to judge whether training changed capability, though the advice comes from a company that sells skills assessment. A green completion dashboard may be tidy; it is not a skills test.

Discuss: Should employers measure skills before and after training, even if that adds time and cost, or is course completion a good enough signal?
