As AI transforms 92% of key ICT roles across the U.S. and Europe, new skill sets in AI ethics, cybersecurity, and data science will be crucial. These professionals will play pivotal roles in ethical AI development, safeguarding against cyber threats, and extracting insights from data. Educational institutions must prioritize equipping students with the skills needed for these emerging roles to ensure they’re ready for the future workplace.

"Interns have not only taken on tasks, but also helped us develop processes that continue to run after they leave." We recently caught up with Dr. Helena Pleinert, owner and managing partner of Pleinert & Partner, on their experience managing remote interns. For the past three years, Helena and her team have been continuously hosting virtual interns. From social media marketing to finding generative AI uses and supporting operations, their interns have been instrumental across the company. Helena remarks on how interns continue to leave their mark long after they've left the company, which is a testament to both the learning experience provided by Pleinert and Partner, as well as the effort and commitment of these interns. Our next pool of pre-vetted, diverse interns ready to contribute across a range of functions and skillsets is almost ready to hire.

"To be able to find programs that adjust to your specific needs as an athlete is rare. By allowing athletes to focus on sport, work and study, whilst also gaining invaluable experience, it prepares us for the ‘real’ world outside of our daily zone" - Alexandra Kiroi-Bogatyreva, Rhythmic Gymnast Olympian and Commonwealth Games gold medallist. As well as bringing home Australia’s second-highest result ever at an Olympic Games in Paris this year, Alexandra is also a law student remotely while living and training overseas. As part of the Australian Institute Of Sport Virtual Internship Program, Alexandra has been able to abide by her training schedule whilst broadening her horizons and gaining additional skills and experience through a remote internship. Athletes are just one example of the type of people who benefit from flexible programming and remote opportunities to engage in work-integrated learning. Ensuring programs are flexible allows learners to gain experience whilst fitting it around their other commitments, whatever they may be. #RemoteInternships #AustralianIInstituteofSport #WorkIntegratedLearning

The "Airbnb" approach to talent acquisition? A globalized, innovative approach is key to making wins in your industry. Take a company like Airbnb that shook the table in the tourism and hospitality industry. Back in 2007, who knew that the idea of staying at a stranger's home over traditional hotels and timeshares would become so widely accepted? So, how does this apply to the growth and continuity of any company? Well, just like Airbnb redefined the travel experience by widening access to their service across borders, companies can apply this same idea to talent acquisition and scaling. We cover insights in our article, read here: https://lnkd.in/eDKkU4Gu #VirtualInternships #TalentAcquisition #Airbnb #HiringApproach #GlobalTalents
