Smart Codes Launches New AI Training Program to Combat Talent Shortage

Addressing the AI Talent Gap with Smart Codes

As the demand for artificial intelligence grows across industries, so does the pressing need for skilled professionals who can effectively utilize AI technologies. Smart Codes Co., Ltd., headquartered in Minato City, Tokyo, is stepping up to meet this challenge by offering a comprehensive training program tailored for businesses. This initiative, titled "E-Learning Program for Thriving in the AI Era," aims to boost AI literacy and operational efficiency by equipping employees with practical AI skills.

The Growing Need for AI Education

According to a survey conducted by the Nomura Research Institute, around 70% of companies report facing challenges related to insufficient AI literacy and skills among their workforce. As businesses increasingly turn to generative AI for their operations, the importance of cultivating talent capable of leveraging these technologies has never been higher. Recognizing this demand, Smart Codes has articulated a robust framework designed to foster AI competencies in various professional roles.

Program Highlights

The newly launched program encompasses three key areas of focus: business professionals, engineers, and a company-wide approach. Participants can choose from four specialized e-learning courses, each tailored to different roles and functions within an organization. These courses include:

1. Mastering AI Tools for Business Professionals

- Expected Benefits: Achieve up to a 70% reduction in document creation time and a 40% improvement in decision-making speed.

2. AI Utilization for Programmers
- Targeting developers, system engineers, and DevOps professionals, this course covers various aspects of using AI to streamline development processes, including AI-assisted code generation and workflow improvements.
- Expected Benefits: Significantly enhance code generation efficiency by 50% and reduce debugging time by 30%.

3. Applying Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Launching Hands-On AI Training Support

In addition to the e-learning program, Smart Codes is set to debut a practical hands-on training support service in April 2026.
