AI readiness means having the skills to thrive in an AI-dominated world. It's important because AI will change jobs and industries, creating new opportunities but also posing threats. Being AI-ready ensures you are safe from job displacement and prepared for new careers.

You need a foundation of Digital Citizenship and Internet Maturity (DCIM) skills, including online safety, online learning, and online reputation. You also need the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication), and hands-on experience with AI tools.

DCIM skills are about being responsible and effective online. They include online safety, which helps you stay secure online; online learning, which enables you to learn new skills independently using online resources; and online reputation management, which helps you build a positive image online. These skills are like "career insurance" because they help you restart your career after a job loss.

The 4Cs are critical thinking (analyzing information and asking why), creativity (innovative problem-solving), collaboration (teamwork), and communication (expressing ideas effectively). These skills are essential because they enable you to use AI tools effectively to solve problems and they also help make you 'the boss of AI'.

Learning how to use AI tools is crucial for all careers in the 21st century. You will learn how to instruct AI tools to complete tasks and achieve your desired outcomes. This is not about building AI tools, but about using them effectively in project work.

You need to have strong online self-learning skills and a mindset that recognizes the importance of AI readiness. If you think you don't want to be replaced by AI or you want to be ready for the opportunities AI will create, then this program is for you.

The mission offers both internships and career guidance programs. Internships give you hands-on experience, and the career guidance program helps you align your plans with the AI-dominated industry. Both programs also include mentorship and access to the DCIM Foundation course.

You can choose from various tracks for internships, such as becoming an "Aspiring Chief AI Officer," "AI Ready Social Media Content Creator," or "AI Ready Web Developer." In both the internships and career guidance programs, you will work on a project tailored to your strengths and interests, with mentorship provided.

Yes, you will receive an internship certificate whether you participate in the internship program or the career guidance program, to validate the skills you have developed.

NO! All the above skills (the entire pyramid) are compulsory for becoming AI-Ready. Removing any of the skills will compromise your AI-Readiness.
