Reskilling and upskilling

Also called Upskilling

Upskilling means learning new skills to do your current job better, such as using AI tools well; reskilling means learning skills for a different job. Both are central to how workers and employers adapt to AI.

In one line, for a 12-year-old

Upskilling is getting better at your job; reskilling is learning a new one.

An example

An office administrator takes a free AI course and becomes the team's go-to person for automating reports.

Why it matters to people

Training should be available to everyone, not only those already ahead. Our Labs list free courses, many in French, from trusted providers.
