IBM has announced its commitment to skill 5 million learners across India in AI, Cybersecurity and Quantum Computing by 2030. Delivered through IBM SkillsBuild, this initiative advances IBM’s mission to build an equitable, future-ready workforce, broaden access and opportunity to advanced digital skills and employability for students and adult learners.
Through this initiative, IBM will expand AI and emerging technology education across schools, universities and vocational and skilling ecosystems. It will also collaborate with institutions like All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to drive hands-on AI learning pathways and faculty enablement programmes, curriculum integration, hackathons and internships.
“India possesses the talent and ambition to lead the world in AI & Quantum. Fluency in frontier technologies will define economic competitiveness, scientific progress and societal transformation,” said Arvind Krishna, IBM Chairman, President and CEO. “Our commitment to skill five million people is an investment in that future. By democratizing access to advanced skills, we are enabling the youth and students to build, innovate and accelerate India’s growth.”
IBM also continues to strengthen school-level readiness by co-developing the AI curriculum for senior secondary students, along with teaching resources including the AI Project Cookbook, Teacher Handbook and explainer modules. These programmes are designed to embed computational thinking and responsible AI principles early, while enabling teachers to deliver AI education confidently and at scale.
