82% of leaders see 2026 as a turning point for AI skills
Artificial intelligence is prompting organizations to rethink the capabilities their teams need.
82% of leaders consider 2026 a decisive year for redefining AI-related strategy and capabilities, according to Microsoft’s Work Trend Index.
82% of leaders consider 2026 a decisive year for rethinking artificial intelligence strategy and capabilities. The figure, included in Microsoft’s Work Trend Index, reflects the pressure organizations face to update their teams’ skills in an environment of rapid technological transformation.
The shift is also changing how people learn. The evolution of technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, quantum computing and autonomous agents is moving learning beyond one-off courses toward ongoing upskilling that must keep pace with technological change.
The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 estimates that 59% of the global workforce will need upskilling or reskilling by 2030, while 39% of current skills will change significantly over the next five years.
Against this backdrop, Learning Heroes announced the evolution of its educational offering toward a subscription model, providing access to artificial intelligence and emerging technology content through a single platform without requiring users to purchase each course separately.
Companies also prioritize skills development
The need for continuous learning is also emerging in organizations’ strategies. The LinkedIn Workplace Learning Report identifies training as one of the main business priorities for developing artificial intelligence skills and maintaining team competitiveness.
The shift is also changing the approach to technology training. Rather than focusing solely on learning specific tools, professional development is increasingly being viewed as an ongoing process in response to technologies whose continued evolution is changing organizations’ needs.
A model based on continuous access
Learning Heroes’ new model provides unlimited access to a continuously updated catalog, including specialized programs, conferences, talks, audiovisual content and open-access resources.
The platform also plans to integrate content on areas such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, automation and quantum computing, helping users understand how these technologies converge and transform different activities.
”For years, technology training was understood as a succession of independent courses. Today, that model no longer responds to the speed at which knowledge evolves. The conversation has changed: the real challenge is not learning a specific tool, but staying up to date in an environment where innovation is constant,” said Arnau Ramió, co-founder and academic director of Learning Heroes.
The shift toward continuous learning models is taking place in a labor market where skills development is becoming increasingly important as artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies reshape the capabilities required.
