Customers can get access to:
An AI Readiness Package includes 50 curated courses along with a structured introduction to AI concepts. Learners will also have access to the Udemy AI Assistant which provides real-time coaching and in-course support to help the learner better understand the concepts and tools being taught. Additionally, learners can develop real-world soft skills through immersive, instructor designed conversation simulations with Udemy’s AI powered role play.
An AI Growth Package is targeted at teams looking to develop advanced, role-specific skills including generative AI for performance and productivity, neural networks for data science and engineering, and agentic AI. It builds on the AI Readiness Package and includes an additional 30+ curated learning paths, multilingual support, and certification prep, along with access to both the Udemy AI Assistant and AI Skills Mapping, which helps leaders develop personalized and targeted learning paths at scale.
These new packages build on Udemy’s standalone AI courses, which have surpassed 11 million enrollments, and the recently launched “AI for Business Leaders” program designed to help senior leaders build core AI skills as they guide their teams toward developing an AI habit and, ultimately, fluency.
RTIH AI in Retail Awards
Our sister title, RTIH, organiser of the industry leading RTIH Innovation Awards, proudly brings you the first edition of the RTIH AI in Retail Awards, which is now open for entries.
As we witness a digital transformation revolution across all channels, AI tools are reshaping the omnichannel game, from personalising customer experiences to optimising inventory, uncovering insights into consumer behaviour, and enhancing the human element of retailers' businesses.
With 2025 set to be the year when AI and especially gen AI shake off the ‘heavily hyped’ tag and become embedded in retail business processes, our newly launched awards celebrate global technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world and the resulting benefits for retailers, shoppers and employees.
Our 2025 winners will be those companies who not only recognise the potential of AI, but also make it usable in everyday work - resulting in more efficiency and innovation in all areas.
Winners will be announced at an evening event at The Barbican in Central London on Wednesday, 3rd September.
This will kick off with a drinks reception in the stunning Conservatory, followed by a three course meal, and awards ceremony in the Garden Room.
