In today’s fast-evolving business landscape, staying ahead with cutting-edge technologies is crucial. That’s why the GTA University Centre is excited to announce three new courses designed to empower professionals across Guernsey with foundational and advanced knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI). Delivered by Ian Campbell, a renowned expert in digital transformation, these courses are tailored to help professionals embrace AI to drive efficiency and innovation in their respective fields.

Guernsey is currently facing a challenging economic climate marked by high employment costs and a limited labour pool. In such a competitive market, productivity is the key to thriving, and technology like AI offers solutions that help businesses do more with less.

Ian Campbell explains, “By leveraging AI, we can optimise processes, enhance decision-making, and improve operational efficiencies, all of which are critical in a labour-short market like Guernsey’s.”

Whether you are a marketing professional, a business leader, or a non-executive director, these courses provide the tools needed to harness AI effectively.
