Get Hired with Andrew Seaman

How to Get Ready for Tomorrow’s In-Demand Skills

Listen Later

Whether you're looking to advance in your current role, pivot to a new industry, or simply stay relevant, upskilling isn't optional anymore—it's essential. But where do you start? What should you actually learn? And how do you make time for it when you're already juggling work, family, and everything else?

In this episode, Andrew talks with Raghu Krishnaiah, Chief Operating Officer at University of Phoenix, about how to create a successful upskilling strategy. Raghu shares the lessons he learned from transitioning his skills and experiences to a new industry, and makes the case to professionals about why upskilling in AI is a non-negotiable.

Key Topics:

  • Why 80% of your skills are transferable across industries
  • The mindset shift that makes upskilling more fun
  • Why prompt engineering is the baseline AI skill everyone needs to learn
  • What to look for in a training program
  • The top qualities employers look for: adaptability, flexibility, and a willingness to take risks
