AI careers
What’s your next career move? Could tech help you figure it out? Perhaps even together with your boss? As we work our way through days and projects, we create lots of data – tiny testimonials to our talent, competence, and skill sets. Mining that data could reveal our true potential for the future, to both our own and employer’s benefits. Because when employees feel challenged and on track, they thrive. And when that happens, business too will thrive.
