The AI revolution is already well underway, and the market for IT professionals is rapidly changing to reflect this. The majority of business leaders have identified AI skill gaps as needing to be urgently addressed and have claimed that they won’t hire employees without the necessary AI literacy. Prompt engineering is one of the most important skills to meet this requirement. It involves structuring the instructions that are fed to generative AI in a way that is clear, concise, and easily followed. Multiple iterations of a task can be avoided if prompt engineering is performed effectively.
There are courses available that are designed to upskill and reskill IT professionals with AI literacy. In as little as 6 weeks, users can become proficient with prompt engineering in a variety of use cases, including financial management, marketing, and Excel. Currently, only 12% of IT professionals are capable of prompt engineering effectively, but hopefully these numbers will rise with the increase of course completion.
