AI is reshaping jobs, industries, and entire economies—fast.
In the years ahead, few areas of life will remain untouched by the impact of Artificial Intelligence.
But the UK risks falling behind. A growing AI skills gap threatens our ability to compete globally. Nations that lead in AI will set the pace; others will depend on their breakthroughs.
To stay ahead, the UK must act now: upskill, and build AI fluency across the workforce—responsibly and inclusively. The fintech and tech sectors and the people who power them have a vital role to play.
Over five years, Jobs 2030 will offer educational modules in AI disciplines delivered with industry-aligned training, tailored specifically to the banking sector.

An employee is considered up-skilled once they complete at least one piece of active learning through Jobs2030 training modules and receive a completion badge. This measure captures formal learning only, such as voluntary self-study modules, and excludes experiential learning (e.g. peer learning), which is harder to track consistently. For deeper development, employees can complete one of Jobs2030’s structured learning pathways, which combine multiple modules into a comprehensive learning experience. Jobs2030 follows the UK Financial Services Skills Commission definition of "up-skilling" and aligns with the Government’s Standard Skills Classification.*
