SkillBridge AI is a platform that leverages AI to bridge the skills gap for blue-collar workers, connecting them with employers seeking specific trades. Inspired by the news that AI can help fix broken hiring systems for blue-collar workers and that Edtech funding is low but general AI platforms are popular, SkillBridge AI uses AI-driven assessments to identify an individual’s existing skills and potential aptitude for various trades. It then curates personalized learning pathways, recommending short, accessible courses (potentially from general AI platforms or specialized vocational training providers) to upskill or reskill them. The platform also matches these trained individuals with job openings, streamlining the hiring process for both workers and employers.
