NATIONAL AI IN WORK DAY

Today is September 30 on the National Day Calendar and we are celebrating National AI in Work Day. We are using today to elevate the conversation around using AI responsibly in the workplace to empower professionals with insights and knowledge they need to thrive in an AI-powered workplace. Follow along as we explain why using AI in the workplace can be a tool for growth, not a source of stress.

AI is no longer a future concept--it’s a present reality. Yet many professionals feel overwhelmed, underprepared, or unsure of how to keep up. In fact, a global study, sponsored by LinkedIn, found that more than 40% of all professionals are feeling overwhelmed by how quickly they’re expected to adapt to and "get" AI. National AI in  Work Day addresses these gaps by offering curated learning paths, expert insights from trusted voices, and peer-led communities that make AI feel more accessible and actionable.

We are at a pivotal moment in technological history. Elevating conversations around responsible AI adoption will help ensure that every worker has the tools and support they need to succeed in an AI-powered world. We already know AI is reshaping how we work. It makes sense to learn, engage, and help professionals navigate the fast AI changes with bring clarity and confidence.

AI is for Everyone

National AI in Work Day isn't just for tech experts--it’s designed for everyone. Employers who provide a dedicated time and space for workers to turn anxiety about AI into action will build confidence in their employees' ability to work alongside AI and will foster innovation. It’s no longer enough to experiment with AI – people are expected to use it or fall behind, including:

• Everyday professionals across all industries who want to understand how AI will impact their roles and learn to use it to their advantage.

• Small and mid-sized business (SMB) employees who are navigating AI adoption and need practical, accessible resources to get started and grow their business.

• Late Gen Z and Millennial workers who are building career momentum and see AI proficiency as a critical skill for future success.

• Company leaders who need to learn AI to innovate, drive operational efficiency and productivity.
