AI Literacy is “rapidly becoming the most in-demand skill in the workplace, with both LinkedIn and the World Economic Forum identifying it as the fastest-growing competency for career success.”

We are talking 'Literacy' - the very minimal application of AI in the future workplace (and life)!

What the internet demanded of #DigitalLiteracy in the workplace, a more rapid urgency is not required in #AILiteracy for 'white collar jobs'

#AILiteracy will soon be a baseline skill - not just for developers, but for everyone. If you can’t use AI, you might not stay employed."

Skills Pyramid eBook Discover the essential skills young people need for future career success with this practical eBook. Learn about the Skills Pyramid framework, pre-skilling strategies, and the importance of qualities,...

The Skills Pyramid isn’t just theory—it’s a roadmap to a successful, adaptable, and future-ready career.

Each level of the Skills Pyramid builds on the one before it. If a young person doesn’t develop core qualities and soft skills first, then even the most impressive job-specific skills won’t get them very far.

What is the Skills Pyramid?
Think of it like building a house. You wouldn’t start with the roof, right? You need a solid foundation first—something strong enough to support everything else.

✅ Without these, no amount of technical expertise will set a young person up for long-term success.

✅ Employers can teach job-specific skills, but they can’t teach resilience, initiative, or reliability.

Let me introduce the Skills Pyramid - a practical framework that makes it clear:

✅ Personal qualities, soft skills, and digital & AI literacy are the foundation of all future skill development.

Employers want to know who these young individuals are as people, what qualities they bring, and whether they’ve developed the essential soft skills and digital literacy needed to hit the ground running.

Employers care less about qualifications and degrees and more about qualities and skills when it comes to employing school leavers.!!

After a decade of teaching and almost another 10-year entrepreneurial mission of pre-skilling young people and closing the gap between employers and the emerging workforce, one thing is crystal clear:...

We've put together the Skills Pyramid as a simple but powerful framework that helps young people #PreSkill with the essential qualities, soft skills, and digital & AI literacy needed to succeed in the #FutureOfWork.

Input from employers have helped shape it, too!
