In my search for top candidates, I’m often asked: “Can you find someone with technical skills that don’t yet have formal training?”
AI is developing faster than traditional learning paths can keep pace with, which means real expertise is often built through experimentation, projects, and on-the-job learning—not formal programs.
And yet this knowledge is CRITICAL today for organizations that want to adapt to the current AI-driven market. 🚀
