Four training projects in Barnsley are set to share more than £800,000 to help people pick up practical artificial intelligence skills in their everyday jobs.
The cash comes from the government's AI Upskilling Challenge Fund, which is targeting support where it is needed most — from frontline healthcare to local construction and small businesses.
The funding is part of the Tech Town pilot in Barnsley, and the government says successful solutions from the scheme could set a national blueprint for equipping people across Britain with AI skills.
Barnsley Council has also highlighted the work, saying frontline care staff, builders and mothers returning to work across the borough will gain practical AI skills through the four new training projects.
The four successful delivery partners are sharing over £800,000 between them.
