After taking the Gen AI course with Vertical Institute, I did live AI automation demos during job interviews. As a result, 3 of 4 companies extended their job offers to me.

Why Now Is the Right Time to Start Learning AI Automation

According to HRD Asia, a survey of 5,000 knowledge workers found that 85% still have beginner or no AI use cases, and only 2.7% have applied AI in ways that produce measurable results at work. The same report found that employees with structured AI training are 1.5 times more proficient than those without.

Here is why starting now matters:

  • Structured, beginner-friendly training gives you the foundation to move from basic AI use to building workflows that generate real results.
  • According to the Deloitte AI Institute, 72% of businesses in Singapore plan to deploy agentic AI within two years, creating demand for professionals at every level who understand how these systems work.
  • The Skills Demand for the Future Economy 2025 report identifies automation capabilities as among the fastest-growing skill requirements across finance, marketing, logistics, and public services.
  • Starting with a structured course means you build the right habits from the beginning, applying AI to meaningful tasks rather than one-off shortcuts.
