The age of AI is officially here and the business landscape is changing fast. Keeping pace with these technological innovations is a formidable challenge: but failing to act now could cost you.


Why it’s time to prepare for the AI revolution

Five years ago, had you told me I would work for a leading finance and investment company, I'd have dismissed you outright. Fresh out of 11th grade, I was dead set on attending college, earning an electrician degree, and starting a role in the trade industry. However, as I left high school, I felt unsure and unsettled about this career path. Such uncertainty isn't unordinary for someone my age, yet I felt truly disoriented regarding my professional future.

Undoubtedly, it provided me with valuable lessons. Fortunately, I've experienced it all firsthand, so now I can offer you insights and guidance that I wish I had when I first started my apprenticeship.
