Creating a Career Journey in an AI World

I.C.E. Exchange Program Description : Creating a Career Journey in an AI World. AI is everywhere and an emerging professional skill set and knowledge area for practitioners. ISACA performed market research to identify the needs of their certificants and found the need for an AI certification. ISACA responding to the changing professional environment, developed two new advanced certification programs to support an area of growth for their certificants. By creating two new advanced certification programs, ISACA is addressing the need for verification of AI knowledge and skills for their audit and security professionals. At the same time, these add-on advanced certifications are part of ISACA’s long-term plan of creating a career journey for members, meeting them all at stages of their professional journey. ISACA also provides certificate options to help early professionals demonstrate and learn about AI, such as their AI Fundamentals certificate program. ISACA intends to have both advanced AI certifications be ISO-17024 accredited programs, similar to their core certifications. Given the emerging need and quickly advancing state of AI, ISACA implemented an accelerated timeline for the job analysis, exam development, launch, and standard setting. Come join us for lessons learned and other takeaways on identifying areas for growth and creating a career journey for certificants to respond to their needs while tackling an emerging professional area of development.
