The Halo Foundation recently announced that five team members have completed
21 online AI courses from The Commonwealth e-learning platform. This training
equips the Halo Team with skills to streamline data, manage workloads, and
securely back up information.
In an Avanade AI Readiness Report, it was deduced that “92% [of 3,000
respondents] believe they must shift to an AI-first operating model in the next 12
months to stay competitive”. Additionally, “63% agreed that employees will need
new skills for generative AI”.
Lady Sandra Williams, President of Halo, states: “We must take every opportunity
to help our young people to learn and develop. AI training is essential for Antigua
and Barbuda’s youth to face the future — and therefore, as AI technology
advances, staying informed is crucial. It is extremely encouraging that the
Commonwealth Secretariat has provided these resources to member states at no
cost.”
The Commonwealth AI Consortium (CAIC) offers various AI education
initiatives, including the Commonwealth AI Academy with Intel, the Make-A-
Thon program with OpenWeaver, the Commonwealth AI Incubator, and
Simplilearn certification opportunities. Other courses on offer include Digital
Readiness for Public Sector Leaders, Introduction to Responsible AI Skills and
Commonwealth Climate Finance Essentials.
