In 2025, the workplace is being transformed by generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI). From automating repetitive workflows to augmenting creative problem-solving, AI tools are reshaping how professionals work, learn, and innovate. To stay competitive, individuals and organisations must adapt by upskilling — and this is where CuriousCore steps in with its new suite of SkillsFuture Certified courses focused on mastering Gen AI technologies.
The Rise of Gen AI Skills in 2025
The demand for Gen AI capabilities has skyrocketed. Data from Lightcast reveals that job postings requiring generative AI skills grew ninefold between 2022 and 2024, and this upward trend continues through 2025. The Future of Jobs Report 2025 by the World Economic Forum notes that AI and automation technologies are among the top disruptors of business models across industries. Indeed’s AI at Work Report 2025 further estimates that nearly half of all job functions now involve skills that can be transformed by Gen AI, reinforcing the need for digital fluency and adaptability.
This growing reliance on AI extends beyond tech roles. A PwC global study indicates that over 70% of workers using Gen AI believe it enhances creativity, learning, and work quality. In other words, AI literacy has become as essential as digital literacy was a decade ago.
Why Learning Gen AI Matters for Professionals
AI is no longer a niche technology confined to data scientists — it’s a mainstream enabler that drives productivity across departments such as marketing, operations, design, and management. According to a report from AWS Executive Insights, two out of three companies increased their Gen AI investments in 2025 as proof-of-concept models moved into full production. This shift creates an urgent need for employees who can translate AI’s potential into real business outcomes.
Professionals who understand how to integrate tools like Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity into their workflows are not just future-proofing their careers — they are positioning themselves as innovators capable of leading digital transformation within their organisations.
CuriousCore’s SkillsFuture-Certified Gen AI Courses
To bridge this capability gap, CuriousCore, an accredited SkillsFuture training provider in Singapore, launched three Gen AI courses tailored for different career levels and learning goals:
This course equips team leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs with strategic frameworks for AI adoption. Participants learn how to integrate generative AI into decision-making, design efficient AI workflows, and foster AI-led innovation cultures. It’s ideal for professionals looking to guide business transformation using AI ethically and effectively.
Tailored for business executives, designers, and problem-solvers, this programme focuses on practical AI applications for real-world challenges. From designing prompts that optimise productivity to applying AI tools in customer experience, operations, and analytics, learners acquire actionable skills for boosting efficiency in their teams.
This two-day, beginner-friendly workshop enables participants to build functional AI-powered apps and prototypes without coding expertise. Using no-code and low-code platforms, learners can design and deploy an AI web or mobile app within a day. The course is perfect for entrepreneurs, UX designers, product managers, and anyone keen to harness AI for digital product creation.
All three courses are eligible for SkillsFuture Credit and WSQ subsidies, making them accessible to both self-sponsored and company-sponsored individuals in Singapore.
What Makes CuriousCore’s Gen AI Courses Stand Out
CuriousCore takes a hands-on approach to learning. Unlike theory-heavy online courses, its sessions are in-person, interactive, and project-based, ensuring participants gain practical, job-ready experience. Classes are led by industry practitioners with experience implementing AI solutions for organisations such as GIC Singapore and Maxis. The institute’s customisable training framework also allows companies to tailor content based on their specific industry challenges.
Here’s what sets CuriousCore apart:
- Applied learning: Participants work on real use cases tailored to their industries, making every session immediately relevant.
- Flexible delivery: Both individual and corporate learners can choose schedules that minimise disruption to work.
- Subsidised training: With SkillsFuture and Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) support, Singaporeans can offset course fees substantially.
- Multidisciplinary faculty: Workshops are taught by digital transformation experts and UX practitioners who understand both human and technical dimensions of AI integration.
This human-centred yet future-forward pedagogy ensures that learners not only gain AI competency but also the collaborative and creative thinking skills required in AI-augmented workplaces.
Understanding the Tools: Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, Gamma
To harness Gen AI effectively, professionals must be fluent in the use of modern AI tools. The following platforms represent the backbone of productivity and creativity in 2025 and are tools that you will learn more about in CuriousCore’s Gen AI Courses:
- Google Gemini – Known for its multimodal intelligence, Gemini integrates text, image, and video input, providing real-time web data that supports creative and analytical tasks. It excels in research and collaborative design workflows.
- Microsoft Copilot – Integrated across Microsoft 365, Copilot automates complex tasks, drafts documents, and summarises data, making it invaluable for knowledge workers operating within enterprise ecosystems.
- Perplexity AI – Favoured for its accuracy and transparency, Perplexity provides cited answers from live web data, streamlining research and professional writing with verifiable sources.
- Gamma – A versatile AI-powered presentation and content design platform, Gamma enables users to create visually engaging reports, proposals, and decks in minutes. It integrates text-to-visual generation, allowing teams to communicate complex ideas clearly and creatively — an asset for professionals in marketing, education, and UX roles.
- n8n – A rising open-source automation tool that integrates with Gen AI APIs, enabling users to create end-to-end workflows connecting platforms like Google Drive, Notion, and OpenAI. n8n empowers non-technical professionals to automate repetitive operations, trigger AI actions, and optimise processes without relying on code-heavy systems.
Each of these tools complements CuriousCore’s course design philosophy: empowering people to work with AI as collaborators rather than competitors. By learning to combine multiple AI platforms, course participants gain versatility — an essential trait in hybrid, AI-powered work environments.
How Gen AI is Rewriting Professional Roles
According to Indeed’s AI at Work Report 2025, 54% of jobs are now in a state of “moderate transformation,” meaning human workers are increasingly collaborating with AI rather than being replaced by it. Tasks such as analysing data, writing content, and generating designs are increasingly supported by generative models — freeing humans to focus on strategy, empathy, and innovation.
This transformation particularly benefits professionals in non-technical roles. Marketers can use AI to personalise campaigns; educators can create dynamic learning materials; and UX designers can use AI to model user journeys. Courses like Solve with Gen AI and Build with Gen AI prepare learners to leverage these tools effectively, ensuring they not only adapt to change but lead it.
The CuriousCore Learning Experience
CuriousCore’s Gen AI courses embrace a holistic learning model that goes beyond skill acquisition. Learners engage in problem-solving workshops, peer collaboration, and mentored projects that mirror real workplace challenges. The small class sizes and hands-on nature ensure individual attention, making it easier to apply AI tools immediately after training.
Furthermore, CuriousCore’s programmes are built around Singapore’s national digital transformation priorities, positioning graduates for emerging roles in innovation management, customer experience, product design, and data-informed leadership.
The Broader Context: AI-Ready Workforces
The 2025 McKinsey AI in the Workplace report highlights a major organisational shift: 84% of employees globally now receive company support to learn AI skills. This signals an era where AI fluency is as much a core business skill as communication or leadership. Government initiatives such as SkillsFuture complement this movement by subsidising professional development in future-ready areas like Gen AI, cybersecurity, and digital design.
In this landscape, CuriousCore plays a pivotal role as a local bridge between professional learners and global technological shifts — making high-quality, industry-aligned Gen AI education accessible to Singapore’s professionals.
Conclusion: The Future of Learning and Work
As generative AI systems evolve, staying relevant requires continuous learning and adaptation. Whether one’s goal is to lead with insight, solve with innovation, or build with technology, the path forward begins with understanding how to use AI responsibly and effectively.
CuriousCore’s Gen AI courses are not merely about tools; they’re about cultivating adaptable thinkers — professionals ready to thrive in workplaces that merge human creativity with machine intelligence. In a world where change is constant, learning how to collaborate with AI is the most durable skill of all.
