UMU Technologies Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shuhei Matsuda), which operates 'UMU', an AI-powered learning platform that supports performance improvement, will officially begin offering the 'UMU AI Talent Development Series' for job-specific and purpose-specific AI talent development from April 1, 2026, to foster 'AI talent' that co-creates with AI.
This series, which fuses theory based on scientific methodology with practical application by AI coaches, provides practical AI skills specialized in five areas: sales, business writing, time management, project management, and strategic human resources. Through learning directly linked to the work of each profession, it accelerates corporate AI talent development and contributes to raising the overall AI utilization capabilities of organizations.
### ■ Background of 'UMU AI Talent Development Series' Development
Amid a rapid increase in companies that prioritize AI utilization by all employees and productivity improvement as important management issues, many business professionals who are responsible for this are anxious about their ability to effectively use AI in their actual work.
In a survey (※1) conducted by our company among business professionals, while over 70% responded that they use generative AI 'multiple times a day', approximately 70% responded 'not very confident (24.6%)', 'not confident at all (9.0%)', or 'cannot say either way (33.6%)' regarding 'their ability to create effective prompts to solve business problems using AI'. This revealed a significant gap between daily AI utilization and confidence in the skills to master it.
Our company has previously offered 'UMU AILIT', a practical course for improving organizational AI literacy. However, beyond acquiring basic AI literacy, the next challenge for companies has emerged as more specialized AI talent development that directly leads to business results for each job role, such as sales, HR, project managers, and management.
Against this background, our company has progressively developed job-specific courses to cultivate more professional AI talent, and has now completed a series of five AI talent development courses that can be flexibly introduced from a single course to meet corporate needs.
### ■ Overview and Course Introduction of 'UMU AI Talent Development Series'
Unlike traditional lecture-based or video-watching training, the 'UMU AI Talent Development Series' is a specialized course that allows systematic learning of thinking skills and practical skills for co-creation with AI, tailored to job roles and objectives.
All courses incorporate practical 'AI prompt exercises', where learners' input prompts generate real-time feedback.
