OverviewEvent Outline
While the market for freelancers is expanding, the skills that companies seek in freelancers are also rapidly changing. In particular, with the spread of generative AI, we have entered an era where "whether or not you can effectively use AI" will determine whether you can win projects and negotiate rates.
This seminar is co-hosted by Another works, which operates "Fukugyo Cloud," a side-job matching platform with over 100,000 registered users, and Digirise, which develops business-focused AI schools. Aimed at side-job professionals who "want to learn AI," this seminar will explain in an easy-to-understand way, even for beginners, why AI skills are necessary now, where to start learning, and how learning AI will change your project acquisition rate and rates.
Recommended for:
- I want to start a side hustle, but I'm worried about my skills.
- I'm interested in AI, but I don't know where to start.
- I'm getting projects, but I want to take it to the next level.
