48% ) of professionals say their organizations lack the resources to design internal training programs — a 10-point increase from last year. 77% of tech-advanced companies plan to increase investments in digital training, compared to59% of less tech-advanced companies.
The next generation must master AI skills to thrive, working alongside technology rather than against it.
