A shared language for AI capability, backed by the UK Government.
Most organisations lack a practical definition of the AI capability each role requires. The AI Skills for Business competency framework was developed to close this gap. It is the reference standard on which the programme is built.
The AI Skills for Business competency framework
Where it comes from, who stands behind it, and the version the programme is built on.
From a national framework to a workforce programme.
VCL scopes the framework to the non-technical workforce. Every duty on the VCL row is a framework duty, and every module traces back to the duties and competencies it serves.
How six personas became three levels and seventeen modules.
Nothing invented, nothing lost. What we set aside is deliberate: technical build roles and public advocacy sit outside the non-technical workforce this programme is for.
A structured curriculum in four layers.
Safe, responsible and productive AI use at every level of the organisation.
Every competency is built and measured on three pillars.
Knowledge taught, skills practised, behaviours lived. Each is measured separately.
