Simplilearn, a global leader in digital upskilling, has announced a new partnership with Michigan Engineering Professional Education to launch the "Generative AI Applications for Leaders" program. This initiative is specifically designed for senior professionals seeking to spearhead AI-driven transformation across various business functions, including sales, marketing, analytics, customer service, operations, engineering, and product R&D.
As the generative AI market is projected for significant growth—with Bloomberg Intelligence forecasting a 43% CAGR over the next decade and McKinsey estimating an annual economic impact between $2.6 trillion and $4.4 trillion the demand for leaders proficient in AI is more critical than ever. This program aims to equip decision-makers with the tactical and strategic understanding necessary to leverage new AI technologies effectively.
The "Generative AI Applications for Leaders" program offers an immersive learning experience with over 55 hours of live, expert-led instruction. It features 63 guided practices and demos rooted in real-world scenarios, allowing participants to explore practical applications of generative AI across vital business functions. The curriculum also includes 12 hands-on, industry-focused projects and provides exposure to more than 16 cutting-edge tools, such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Eleven Labs, and Zapier. Through this experience, learners will develop practical expertise in workflow automation, data-informed decision-making, and the ethical deployment of AI in modern business environments.
Upon successful completion of the program, learners will receive a certificate from Michigan Engineering Professional Education, a Microsoft-hosted credential for selected modules, and a Michigan Eng Pro-Ed digital badge powered by Simplilearn.
Mr. Krishna Kumar, Founder and CEO of Simplilearn, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, "Our partnership with Michigan Engineering reflects our commitment to empowering professionals with the most future-focused skills. This new program on Generative AI Applications for Leaders is designed for decision-makers to understand AI and to lead with it.
