Automation Workz Creates Tech Skill Coaching to Solve the AI Workforce Readiness Crisis
Without proper skill development and mindset coaching, even the best AI initiatives can collapse under the weight of human hesitation.
'Tech coaching programs offer customized support for learners developing digital and technical capabilities essential for success in today's innovation-driven economy.' — World Economic Forum, 2020, Upskilling for Shared Prosperity
DETROIT, MI, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- AI is no longer just a buzzword—it's the driving force behind a new industrial revolution. But as artificial intelligence transforms every sector, one major problem looms large: the workforce isn't ready. Companies are investing in AI tools, but employees often lack the skills and confidence to use them effectively.
That's where Tech Skill Coaching comes in. Designed by Automation Workz, this revolutionary approach bridges the gap between human talent and AI advancement, preparing workers—not replacing them—for the future of work. Tech Skill Coaching is the key to solving the AI readiness crisis in today's workforce.
THE AI DILEMMA: INNOVATION WITHOUT INTEGRATION
Businesses are racing to integrate AI into everything from customer service to supply chains. But while machines are evolving, people are falling behind.
According to McKinsey & Company, nearly 50% of work activities could be automated using current technology. Yet most organizations struggle to roll out AI effectively because employees don't fully understand the tools—or trust them.
This lack of readiness leads to:
● Resistance to AI tools
● Poor adoption of automation systems
● Low ROI on tech investments
● Frustrated employees who feel left behind
Without proper skill development and mindset coaching, even the best AI initiatives can collapse under the weight of human hesitation.
TECH SKILL COACHING: A HUMAN-CENTERED SOLUTION
Tech Skill Coaching is a structured, mentor-led approach that trains individuals to build, apply, and adapt digital competencies in real-world environments.
Unlike traditional training that focuses on theory, Tech Skill Coaching emphasizes:
● Practical engagement with AI and digital tools
● Strength-based coaching via the SenseiiWyze platform
● Real-world projects that mimic AI-integrated workflows
● Ongoing feedback and support from experienced coaches
This approach helps employees understand, trust, and utilize AI as part of their daily responsibilities—not as a threat to their job, but as a tool to enhance their performance.
COACHING BUILDS CONFIDENCE IN AN AI WORLD
Fear of AI often stems from uncertainty—about job security, skill relevance, and the ability to adapt. Tech Skill Coaching addresses that fear by giving workers:
Clear knowledge of how AI works in their role
Hands-on practice using AI-powered systems
Support to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow
A career path aligned with tech trends, not threatened by them
When employees feel supported and empowered, they're far more likely to embrace AI—and even lead innovation within their teams.
REAL IMPACT: FROM TECH NOVICE TO CYBERSECURITY PRO
The story of Donavan, a former homeless man turned high-performing tech support worker, illustrates the power of coaching. With guidance from Automation Workz, he earned three certifications, landed a $7/hour raise, and is now progressing through a cybersecurity ops program.
His transformation shows what's possible when people are coached, not just trained, into the digital economy. Watch his story here.
COMPANIES WIN, TOO
AI readiness isn't just about helping workers—it's a business imperative. Companies that implement Tech Skill Coaching benefit from:
Reduced tech adoption failures
Higher employee engagement and productivity
Improved retention and internal promotion rates
Greater ROI on AI and automation investments
According to LinkedIn Learning, companies using tech skilling coaching see 10X return on training investments. And IBM reports tech skill coaching leads to 58% higher retention—a critical metric in fast-changing industries.
FINAL THOUGHTS: TECH + COACHING = FUTURE-PROOF TALENT
The AI revolution demands a new kind of employee—one who can learn fast, adapt quickly, and work alongside intelligent systems. But that kind of workforce doesn't happen overnight. It takes coaching. It takes vision. It takes investment in people. Tech Skill Coaching is Automation Workz's answer to the AI workforce readiness crisis—and it's changing lives and companies alike.

Home Depot holding opening ceremony Wednesday at South Hill store
Jun. 10—Officials from Home Depot will host a grand opening Wednesday at the hardware giant's new store on the South Hill. The 134,000-square foot store was built following the demolition of the 100,000-square-foot Shopko building at 4515 S. Regal St. The new store is located directly across the street from Ruggiero's Ace Hardware, owned by Austin and Josh Ruggiero, the third generation of the family to own the business. To commemorate the opening of Home Depot, company officials will host a community night celebration that starts at 4:30 on Wednesday. It will feature remarks from Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown, City Council President Betsy Wilkerson and Alisha Benson, CEO of Greater Spokane Incorporated. Following the event, the store will open for business at 6 a.m. on Thursday. Home Depot purchased the 13-acre property in May for $10 million, according to county property records. Building plans submitted to the city show about 28,000 square feet of the new building will include a garden center, and another 100,000 square feet will consist of retail space. A lumber canopy also is slated for the location. The store could eventually employ 175 workers, according to the project description submitted to the city. Josh Ruggiero said last year that his hardware store could suffer from the new Home Depot. "I fear we will no longer exist if this Home Depot goes in across the street," he said. But two weeks ago, the Ruggieros announced plans to highlight the differences that their store offers customers. The plan to hold a neighborhood party on Saturday at the Ace Hardware store at 44th and Regal which will include in-store promotions and family activities. "While this change presents challenges for our family-owned business, we are embracing the moment with optimism and a renewed commitment to our neighbors," Ruggiero said in a news release.

iOS 26 — Apple Unveils New Wallet Feature To Verify Your ID Online
Another new iOS 26 feature has emerged courtesy of Apple-focused site MacRumors — a Verify with ... More Wallet on the Web option. Apple's iOS 26 is shaping up to be a major update to the iPhone maker's operating system, with a bunch of cool new features announced on June 9 at its Worldwide Developer's Conference. Some people don't like the look of iOS 26, which comes with a new design language called Liquid Glass. However, iOS 26 looks like it will be very capable, with headline features including enhancements to Apple Intelligence AI features and the ability to screen calls and messages. Now, another new iOS 26 feature has emerged courtesy of Apple-focused site MacRumors — a Verify with Wallet on the Web option. This new iOS 26 feature works exactly in the way it sounds: You will be able to use your state-issued license or digital ID to verify your age and identity online in a secure way when doing things such as buying liquor or renting a car. In practice, this means you don't have to upload your photo ID such as your passport, which contains details such as your date of birth and name, to a website. Apple's iOS 26 feature can verify your identity instead and the iPhone maker will also inform you of how the data will be used and let you know if the information will be stored by the site. The whole process is protected by end-to-end encryption, the gold standard of security which means no one can see your data, including Apple, the website and the government. This capability is already possible in apps, but Apple is expanding it to the web through support for the W3C Digital Credentials API and the FIDO CTAP protocol, MacRumors explains. From iOS 26, the web-based ID verification feature will work in Safari across all your Apple devices, as well as in other browser apps and via operating systems that offer support. The Digital ID feature in iOS 26 allows you to store state issued IDs and licenses as well as passports to verify yourself online. Other features include the ability to scan a QR code on your iPhone and authenticate via Face ID to share your Digital Wallet information with a website. Meanwhile, Apple will add support for third party apps that support licenses. The Verify with Wallet on the Web feature in iOS 26 ensures you can't use fake IDs by ensuring they are cryptographically signed. The iPhone maker has announced the initial apps that will support Verify with Wallet on the Web, including Uber Eats, Turo and U.S. Bank. At the same time, Arizona MVD, Georgia DDS and Maryland MVA will add support for their digital ID apps, MacRumors says. Apple's iOS 26 will be available this Fall, when Apple launches its new iPhone devices.
