How can training keep pace when skills evolve faster than curricula?
In fast-moving sectors such as artificial intelligence, technological change is rapid, skill requirements shift continuously, and innovation cycles are short. Yet many training programs are still designed using linear, content-heavy models that are slow to adapt and increasingly misaligned with labor market needs.
This interactive workshop invites training designers, educators, and decision-makers to explore how training can be redesigned to remain relevant, responsive, and impactful in fast-changing labor markets. Drawing on the experience of the Generative AI Skills Academy (GenAISA), the session showcases practical approaches to building training programs that deliver the right skills—at the right time.
Why participate?
Participants will gain first-hand insights into how modular curricula, assessment-first design, and strong industry alignment can be combined to create high-impact learning programs that adapt to change. Generative AI serves as a real-world case study, with lessons that are transferable across sectors facing rapid transformation.
What will you learn?
By the end of the workshop, participants will:
- Understand the key trends shaping fast-changing labor markets and what they mean for training design
- Learn how to apply skills- and assessment-first design frameworks in practice
- Explore ways to integrate labor market and industry intelligence into curriculum design
- Identify effective assessment and credentialing approaches for evolving skill sets
Who should attend?
This workshop is designed for professionals involved in training, education, and skills development, including:
- Training and instructional designers
- VET practitioners
- Higher education faculty and curriculum developers
- Workforce development and reskilling program managers
- Corporate learning and development professionals
Policymakers and program officers working on digital skills and innovation - Managers of innovation hubs, accelerators, and skills academies
Agenda:
14:00 (CET) Introduction: Fast-changing labour markets and the implications for training design
Key drivers of labor market change, with a focus on AI and digital technologies, and the resulting implications for skills demand and training relevance. This section can include a short presentation of the competences map and emerging job profiles we identified for genAI sector.
Loredana Bucseneanu, Project Manager European DIGITAL SME Alliance and engagement Coordinator of the ARISA Alliance
14:15 (CET) GenAISA Training Design Lab: Assessment-First Learning Design
This session will explore how to develop effective training materials using an assessment-first design approach, grounded in the learning sciences and strengthened through constructive alignment (Biggs & Tang, 2011). When we start by defining what we want learners to demonstrate, we can then design the right content, learning activities, and supports — ensuring learning is purposeful, measurable, and achievable.
Spiros Soulis, Senior Advisor, Education, RMIT Europe
15:00 (CET) Implications for institutions and programs
Key takeaways and guiding questions to help participants reflect on how these approaches can be applied within their own organizations.
Join us for this focused and practical workshop to explore how training design can evolve to meet the demands of fast-changing labor markets. By engaging with peers and learning from concrete experience drawn from the Generative AI Skills Academy, participants will gain actionable insights they can apply directly within their own organizations. This event is delivered in collaboration with the Artificial Intelligence Skills Alliance και το Digital Large-Scale Partnership, bringing together complementary expertise to support high-quality, future-ready training design.

About the Generative AI Skills Academy:
Ο Generative AI Skills Academy (GenAISA) is a strategic Erasmus+ initiative dedicated to equipping learners, educators, and organisations with the skills needed to engage effectively with generative AI technologies. The project tackles the growing generative AI skills gap by developing two tailored curricula for higher education and vocational training, creating more than 100 open educational resources, and implementing innovative learning platforms such as MOOCs and an interactive virtual world. GenAISA also introduces practical tools including micro-credentials and a Digital Skills Passport to help learners document achievements and navigate emerging career pathways. With a diverse consortium of European partners, the Academy aims to make AI education accessible, engaging, and aligned with real labor market needs.
