如今的劳动力市场中，熟练掌握人工智能正日益成为一项必备条件，各行业的雇主都在寻找具备AI素养的求职者。
Resume Genius的研究显示，80%的招聘经理将AI技能视为优先考量项。而时代的一个鲜明信号是，其他数据表明，与拥有更多工作年限的候选人相比，大多数雇主更愿意聘用具备AI技能的求职者。
然而，谷歌“Grow with Google”项目负责人丽莎·格维尔伯表示，尽管如今许多员工都清楚需要提升AI技能，但很少有雇主会提供必要的培训。该项目旨在为员工和企业提供数字技能培训。
“我们都知道AI能带来极大益处，招聘经理也表示掌握AI使用方法至关重要，但雇主在员工培训方面并未满足这一需求，”她对CBS新闻说道。
确实，企业往往并非员工获取当下突然紧缺的AI技能的最佳场所，1Huddle公司创始人萨姆·考奇说道。该公司与企业合作，为员工开发企业培训项目。
“企业和学术界都无法胜任这项工作，因为课程开发的流程太过缓慢，”而AI的发展速度却快得惊人，他说道。
员工该如何提升技能？
那么，人们该如何学习AI知识，从而助力求职或推动职业发展呢？据AI和职业发展专家建议，一个很好的入门方法就是每天使用公开可用的AI工具。
“员工正通过直接登录平台来熟练使用AI，以此原生地学习AI，”考奇说道。“他们通过向ChatGPT、Gemini、Claude以及其他任何平台发送提示词来学习AI。”
这类平台是免费的，付费订阅则能提供额外的福利和功能。部分AI公司也会提供免费培训。例如，ChatGPT的开发商OpenAI就开设了“提示工程”培训课程，该公司将其描述为“与AI模型沟通以获得预期输出的艺术”。
考奇指出，想要快速掌握AI的人还能在网上找到大量免费培训资料，并提到Instagram、TikTok和YouTube等平台上的AI课程，是“获取大量基础知识”的好途径。
借助AI来学习AI技能
Handshake招聘平台高等教育与学生成功副总裁克里斯汀·克鲁兹维尔加拉也建议，借助AI来学习如何使用AI。
“你完全可以用AI来教你学习AI，”她说。“登录ChatGPT或Claude，表明你想学习如何在工作中使用AI，它会帮你入门。你可以说，‘在两周或一个月的时间里，你能帮我制定一个课程学习计划吗？’它会为你提供一份详细的行动指南。”
尽管有迹象表明，企业对AI的日益普及正在削弱对入门级员工的需求，但克鲁兹维尔加拉预计，随着时间推移，会有更多企业招聘年轻群体——其中许多人已经在为各种用途开发AI技术的使用专业知识。
“雇主正指望这一代年轻人来完成这项工作，”她说。“他们是第一代完全土生土长的AI一代。他们早已自学成才。”
展示你的能力
职业专家表示，向潜在雇主展示你的AI技能同样至关重要。
“仅仅说‘我用过ChatGPT’，并不是员工展示自身技能的正确方式，”1Huddle的考奇说道。“确保你的简历有一条贯穿始终的AI相关线索。”
这意味着要举例说明AI如何帮助你提高工作效率和生产力，同时还要列明任何额外的AI资质或培训经历。
Grow with Google就是员工获取AI资质的途径之一。例如，该项目的“谷歌AI专业证书”课程在线上开设，每月学费为49美元。该证书包含七个模块，每个模块大约需要一小时完成，学员可以按照自己的节奏学习。
“我们教授的正是雇主希望员工掌握的技能，”谷歌的格维尔伯说道。
其中包括培养核心技能，比如使用AI进行更高效的沟通、制作演示文稿以及开展数据分析。
“企业购买人才——而非培养人才，”考奇说道。“我的建议是，尽可能多地在简历上堆叠这类资质，以此表明这是你重点关注的领域。”

Employers are demanding AI skills. What’s the best way to learn them?

Fluency in artificial intelligence is increasingly a prerequisite in today’s labor market, with employers across industries seeking AI-literate job candidates.
Research from Resume Genius found that 8 in 10 hiring managers consider AI skills a priority. And in a sign of the times, other data shows that most employers would hire a candidate with AI skills over one with additional years of work experience.
Yet while many workers today are well aware of the need to hone their AI chops, few employers offer the necessary training, said Lisa Gevelber, who heads Google’s “Grow with Google” initiative, a program that provides digital skills training to workers and businesses.
“We know AI can be extremely beneficial and that hiring managers say knowing how to use it is essential, but employers aren’t meeting that need in terms of training employees,” she told CBS News.
Indeed, companies often aren’t the best place to acquire the kind of AI skills that are suddenly in demand, said Sam Caucci, founder of 1Huddle, a company that partners with firms to develop corporate training for workers.
“Companies and academia are not equipped because the curriculum development process is so slow,” while AI advances at breakneck speed, he said.
How can workers level up?
So how can people learn about AI in ways that might boost a job search or advance their careers? According to AI and career development experts, a good way to start is simply by using publicly available AI tools daily.
“Workers are learning AI natively by going directly to platforms to get better at using it,” Caucci said. “They are learning AI by prompting ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, you name your platform.”
Such platforms are free,while paid subscriptions offer additional benefits and features. Some AI companies also offer free training. For example, ChatGPT developer OpenAI offers training programs in “prompt engineering,” which it describes as “the art of communicating with AI models to get a desired output.”
People interested in getting up to speed on AI can also find a plethora of free training materials online, Caucci noted, pointing to AI courses on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, among other platforms, as a good way “to acquire a lot of baseline knowledge.”
Ask AI how to build AI skills
Christine Cruzvergara, vice president of higher education and student success at Handshake, a hiring platform, also recommends leaning on AI to learn how to use it.
“You can literally use AI to teach you AI,” she said. “Go to ChatGPT or Claude and say you’re interested in learning more about how to use AI in your role, and it will help you get started. Say, ‘Over the course of two weeks or one month, can you build out a schedule of courses?’ And it will give you a play-by-play of what you should do.”
While some signs suggest that growing corporate adoption of AI is weakening demand for entry-level workers, Cruzvergara expects more companies, over time, to recruit younger adults, many of whom are developing expertise in using the technology for a range of purposes.
“Employers are looking to this next generation to do that,” she said. “They are the first fully-native AI generation. They are already self-taught.”
Show what you know
Demonstrating your AI skills to prospective employers is also critical, according to career experts.
“Just saying, ‘I use ChatGPT,’ is not how workers should be reflecting their skills,” Caucci of 1Huddle said. “Make sure your resume has an AI throughline.”
That means outlining examples of how AI has helped you work more efficiently and productively, as well as spelling out any additional AI qualifications or training.
Grow with Google is one place workers can turn to earn AI credentials. For example, the program’s “Google AI Professional Certificate” course is available online for $49 per month. The certificate consists of seven modules, each taking about an hour to complete, while students can move at their own pace.
“We are teaching the things that employers want employees to be able to do,” Google’s Gevelber said.
That includes developing core skills, such as using AI for more effective communication, building presentations and conducting data analysis.
“Companies buy talent — they don’t build it,” Caucci said. “My advice is to stack as many of those credentials as you’re able to onto your resume to signal that this is an important area of focus for you.”
