Why AI Skills Matter for Working Professionals

AI is increasingly becoming part of everyday work in Singapore, changing how professionals research, communicate, analyse information and complete routine tasks. Building practical AI capabilities can help working professionals stay relevant as businesses introduce these tools across more functions.

Around three in four Singapore workers regularly use AI tools, with 85% reporting improvements in productivity, speed or work quality.
Singapore’s National AI Impact Programme aims to help 100,000 workers become AI bilingual, equipping them to work effectively alongside AI over three years.
The same programme aims to support 10,000 local enterprises in adopting AI across business processes, increasing the need for employees who can use these tools effectively.

This course sharpened my AI skills through hands-on practice with ChatGPT, Copilot, and Claude, while strengthening my prompt engineering techniques. I also explored advanced methods like Tree/Graph of Thought prompting and Custom GPTs. Grateful to Vertical Institute for a comprehensive course.

Generative AI Course Alumni, Sep 2025

I love how the course focused on prompt engineering concepts: from zero-shot prompting to chain-of-thought reasoning, where you guide the AI through step-by-step logic. My instructor didn’t just teach us to use these tools; he made us understand that prompt engineering is part psychology, part linguistics, and part strategic thinking. Very useful for my consulting career.

Excellent Gen AI course for beginners. Came with zero knowledge. At the end of the course managed to leverage on GenAi to complete the Capstone project. Thankful for my instructor and teaching assistant.
