The job market is currently undergoing a period of transformation due to the rapid pace of technological advancements and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). This has resulted in a skills gap in various industries, causing companies to reevaluate the traditional path from education to employment. AI and machine learning tools are increasingly being used by businesses to enhance their operations, which has significant implications for workforce development.
On this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J Stefanski sits down with 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 help with skills measurement and verification, as well as the challenges companies face when trying to align organizational goals with individual career aspirations. Additionally, they talk about 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 alongside 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 while creating a more dynamic and personalized approach to learning and development for their employees.
