Introduction
Welcome and event introduction
Closing the AI Skills Gap for Non-Technical Students by Janna Schweigmann
AI is no longer a tech topic — it's a cross-functional skill that employers across every industry now expect. But universities aren't keeping up, and most non-technical students graduate without the practical AI skills the job market already demands. In this talk, I share what we're building with Generation AI — the first DACH-wide community equipping students from all disciplines with hands-on AI skills, free and university-independent. I'll cover why the gap exists, why it hits non-tech students hardest, and what actually works to close it: from workshops and masterclasses with real company use cases to curated knowledge platforms that cut through the noise. For context: I'm co-founding Generation AI alongside my Master's in Lucerne, and I met Reginald at Q-Summit in Mannheim — which is how this reached me. Happy to tailor the depth and angle depending on audience and format.
