The job market is currently undergoing a major transformation due to the rapid pace of technological advancements and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). This has resulted in a skills gap in many industries, prompting a reevaluation of traditional paths from education to employment. Businesses are increasingly turning to AI and machine learning tools to improve their operations, which has significant implications for workforce development.
On this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J Stefanski is joined by Kayvon Touran, CEO and Co-founder of Zal.ai, to explore the role of AI in workforce development and how companies are approaching learning and development (L&D). They discuss how AI can enhance skills measurement and verification, the challenges companies face in aligning organizational goals with individual career aspirations, and how AI-driven platforms like Zal.ai can revolutionize traditional L&D into more personalized career development tools.
Kayvon Touran is a serial entrepreneur in educational technology who co-founded Zal.ai with Stephen M. Kosslyn and Joseph Rousseau. His previous work at Noodle demonstrated his ability to merge technology with user-centric solutions, and his latest venture focuses on using AI to provide employees with a transparent and engaging way to track and advance their career skills.
This partnership between AI and career development has the potential to reshape the future of workforce development as businesses strive to align their strategic goals with employee growth and development. Through innovative solutions like Zal.ai, companies can optimize their operations and create a more dynamic and personalized approach to learning and development for their employees.
