Employer Insights

Four places to start if you are working out how AI is changing your workforce, and what to do about it.

Where is our workforce strongest, and what should we strengthen next?

AI Workforce Readiness Check

Seventeen questions about your organisation, in about 3 to 4 minutes. You get a readiness profile across seven areas, from AI direction and leadership to business value, with your strongest area, your biggest gap and a practical next priority.

A self-reported indicator, not an audit. The result is yours to keep whether or not you ever talk to us.

Australian AI Workforce Readiness Index 2026

EduSmart Institute’s 2026 employer survey is being prepared and will open on the Readiness Index page.

Voluntary, and separate from marketing. Findings are reported in aggregate.

What would this involve, in a form we can share internally?

Employer Information Guide

Eight pages on why workforce capability matters, how the AI Workplace Transformation Program and the BSB50120 Diploma of Business (Digital Transformation) work together, how employer-sponsored learners apply it back at work, what evidence employees build and how to get started.

How would we actually develop our people?

Workforce Capability Development

One employee, a team or a larger cohort complete the AI Workplace Transformation Program, with the Diploma included. They practise on Next Horizon’s own records and systems, so your confidential information is not required for the core program, then bring the method back to your work.
