NTT DATA's award-winning training initiative is revolutionizing AI literacy and skills development for its global workforce. This comprehensive program, known as the GenAI Academy, equips employees with the necessary AI capabilities to drive responsible innovation, efficiency, and growth for both the company and its clients. The initiative was launched a year ago and has set a global standard for developing multiple levels of AI expertise, ensuring compliance with NTT DATA's internal governance framework and policies for AI. The GenAI Academy offers a unified, multi-tiered approach to AI learning, featuring self-paced learning, hands-on labs, and applied use cases that help employees translate expanded AI competency into measurable business value. The training also covers mandatory compliance with the company's AI governance framework as well as security and risk-management policies. In addition to foundational AI training, the academy also provides mandatory advanced levels that include role-specific training tailored for specific job functions. Last month, NTT DATA's GenAI Academy earned a Learning and Development Gold Award in the Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards. The company collaborates with technology leaders and partners, including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft, and OpenAI, to extend additional learning opportunities to employees. NTT DATA's commitment to AI literacy and skills development is a testament to its belief that AI skills and tools represent a new form of critical infrastructure, and the company is investing in its people to move boldly and responsibly into the digital future. By ensuring AI literacy and expertise, NTT DATA is empowering its team members to fully leverage its comprehensive offerings for clients, including the Smart AI Agent™ Ecosystem and its partnerships with world-leading technology providers and world-class startups.
