Scaler Goes AI Native, Rebuilds Programs to Bridge Industry Skill Gap

Apr 16 (BNP): Bengaluru-based Scaler has become India’s first fully AI-native technology career platform, redesigning its entire learning ecosystem around artificial intelligence.

The platform has rebuilt its curriculum, projects, and hiring preparation modules to focus on hands-on AI skills rather than tool-based or theoretical learning.

The move follows a joint study with CyberMedia Research, which found that while 89% of engineers believe they are AI-ready, only 19% are actually working on AI systems, highlighting a major capability gap in the industry.

Scaler said the transformation is aimed at addressing this gap by working closely with over 1,200 companies, which reported a shortage of engineers with real-world AI development experience.

The initiative is designed to better align learning outcomes with industry needs in an increasingly AI-driven job market.
