One signal

A new collection of HR advice argues that preparing staff for AI-driven work should start with changing tasks, not a catalogue of courses. Contributors recommend mapping the skills people will need, then linking learning to real work and routes into new roles.

The practical suggestions include hands-on assignments and internal mobility. One contributor also urges employers to publish training-selection criteria and track who applies against who gets chosen, a useful check on opportunities quietly flowing to the already visible. The recommendations come from Forbes Human Resources Council members, not a single research study. Still, they make a clear case for treating reskilling as a work-and-career plan rather than asking employees to collect certificates and hope a job appears.

Discuss: Should employers prioritise training everyone broadly, or target learning at specific roles and publish who gets access?
