Building the Workforce of Tomorrow with AWS

We sat down with Valerie Singer, General Manager of AWS Global Education, to talk about how organizations are preparing their workforces for the AI era.

Drawing on insights from From Cloud to AI: How Tech Leaders Are Investing in Skills Development to Drive Transformation, a new global survey from Coursera and AWS, Valerie shares why cloud and cybersecurity remain foundational to AI transformation, how hands-on learning is shaping the next generation of tech talent, and why AI literacy matters for everyone—not just technical roles. She also highlights how AWS is partnering globally to close skills gaps and expand opportunity, from professional certificates with Coursera to programs serving underserved communities.

Whether you’re a business leader, educator, or lifelong learner, this episode offers practical lessons on how to build resilient teams and unlock opportunity through skills.

We also cover:

⚡ Why cloud infrastructure is the bedrock for AI at scale
🔧 How hands-on learning and customization are reshaping training
🌱 AWS initiatives to bridge skills gaps in underserved communities
🧩 Why AI literacy matters across both technical and non-technical roles
