The Problem Nobody Talks About
Universities are graduating students into an AI-powered job market without AI skills. Curriculums take 3-5 years to update. Employers need AI-literate hires now. That gap is costing students opportunities and costing companies time.
According to McKinsey, 47% of entry-level tasks are now AI-automatable. But only 14% of business students feel prepared to use AI in professional settings. That disconnect is the problem Get AI Literate exists to solve.
What Get AI Literate Does
Get AI Literate is an AI literacy platform built specifically for college students in marketing, business, communications, and advertising. We help students assess their readiness, identify skill gaps, and build the practical AI competencies employers actually need.
Everything we do is built on a 7-dimension AI Literacy Framework that measures the skills that matter most in the workplace: effective prompting, critical thinking, responsible use, business application, data literacy, and more. Students take our free assessment, get a personalized breakdown of their strengths and gaps, and access targeted resources to close those gaps.
Why This Exists
I’m Fred Faulkner, and I’ve spent 25+ years working at the intersection of marketing and technology. I’ve led marketing strategy for companies navigating digital transformation, worked with platforms like Salesforce, Adobe, and Google, and watched firsthand how AI is reshaping what employers expect from new hires.
Get AI Literate started because I got tired of watching talented students graduate unprepared. Professors are doing their best, but the technology is moving faster than curriculum committees. Students need practical AI skills now, not in three years when the syllabus catches up.
This isn’t about hype. It’s about giving you the skills, judgment, and confidence to walk into your first job ready to work alongside AI, not be replaced by it.
