The traditional education to employment pathway is being reassessed as industries are facing a critical skills gap. This is due to rapid technological advancements and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the job market. The use of AI in workforce development is becoming increasingly popular, with businesses incorporating machine learning tools to streamline operations.
This week on DisruptED, host Ron J Stefanski is joined by Kayvon Touran, CEO and Co-founder of Zal.ai, to discuss the role of AI in workforce development and how companies are approaching learning and development (L&D). Together, they explore how AI enhances skill development measurement and verification, the challenges and opportunities of aligning organizational goals with individual career aspirations, and the future of AI in L&D.
Kayvon Touran is a serial entrepreneur with a strong background in educational technology. He co-founded Zal.ai with Stephen M. Kosslyn and Joseph Rousseau. Touran’s innovative work at Noodle helped scale the company significantly, demonstrating his ability to merge technology with user-centric solutions. Zal.ai focuses on using AI to provide a transparent and engaging method for employees to track and advance their career skills.
By embracing AI-driven platforms like Zal.ai, companies can transform traditional L&D into dynamic and personalized career development tools, ultimately enhancing employee growth and satisfaction. As the job market continues to evolve, it’s important for businesses to adapt their approach to workforce development by incorporating AI technology into their L&D strategies.
