Building an AI-ready workforce is essential for businesses and governments, which can also unlock the full workforce potential in Asia-Pacific, with 165 million expected working-age people by 2030. As we start to see the socioeconomic impact of AI work transition on workers who have limited support to adapt and catch up, there is an urgent need to equip workers with the foundational AI knowledge and tools needed for long-term positive professional outcomes. AVPN’s AI Opportunity Fund: Asia-Pacific, with support from Google.org and Asian Development Bank (ADB), invites organisations that reach those workers to register their interest to receive funding, comprehensive training based on Google and external AI courses, and the option for additional tailored support.
