AI is not coming for your job - someone with the skills to use it  might be.

Generative AI will change the workplace and  transform everything from communication to creativity. Equipping yourself for and your team for how this might impact you is the new essential skill.

Recognising this, the University of Sussex offers staff the opportunity to enhance their skills through fully funded AI apprenticeships in partnership with QA, a leading provider of digital and tech apprenticeships.

Why consider an AI apprenticeship?

AI is already making the impossible feel possible, and over the past year there has been significant numbers of people and organisations moving from AI experimentation to more meaningful adoption. In the last year alone, generative AI usage jumped from 55% to 75% among employees and business leaders. AI-powered agents will do more with greater autonomy.

From Amplifying AI adoption to strategic planning around its implementation, QA has an Apprenticeship programme for you. Hear how to upskill yourself and your team:
