The government is committed to building a digitally skilled workforce to support long-term economic growth, drive innovation and expand individual opportunity. As part of this ambition, DSIT has launched the AI Skills Boost campaign to upskill 10 million workers in AI skills by 2030.
As of 24 April 2026, there were 65,965 registered learners on the AI Skills Hub. The AI Skills Hub also hosts the AI Skills Boost programme, which delivered over 1 million courses between June 2025 and January 2026. A further progress update will be shared shortly.
