Meeting Global AI Talent Demand: Ecuador-Exclusive Skills Accelerator Program

The global AI landscape continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, creating both challenges and opportunities for Latin American professionals. Today, we're excited to announce that the second cohort of our AI Skills Accelerator program will be exclusively available to Ecuadorian developers starting April 2025.

Why Should Ecuador's Developers Care About AI?

The recent World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 provides compelling evidence for Ecuadorian developers to prioritize AI skills:

• AI tops the skills demand curve: 87% of employers globally expect AI and big data skills to increase in importance by 2030, the highest growth rate among all skills surveyed.
• Job market transformation: 86% of surveyed employers expect AI and information processing technologies to transform their business by 2030.
• Latin American opportunity: Companies in Latin America expect increased digitalization and stronger focus on labor and social issues to drive labor market change over the 2025-2030 period, creating a unique window for developers with AI expertise.

The Global Hiring Landscape for Latin American AI Talent
