scaleLIT + Grow with Google
Advancing AI Readiness
scaleLIT is proud to serve as a Grow with Google Partner, bringing 500 AI scholarship opportunities to adult education and workforce organizations across Illinois.
This initiative is not simply about offering a course.
It is about preparing our ecosystem to respond to a rapidly shifting labor market.
Why This Matters
The Workforce Is Changing — And We Are Responding
Artificial intelligence is no longer emerging. It is embedded in hiring, customer service, data management, job search platforms, and everyday workplace tasks.
At the same time:
Employers increasingly expect AI familiarity
Digital literacy gaps persist among adult learners
Workforce organizations must adapt quickly and responsibly
This moment is not about adopting technology for its own sake.
It is about ensuring that adult learners and the organizations that serve them are not left behind.
As a Grow with Google Partner, scaleLIT is helping the field translate the AI shift into a practical, equitable workforce strategy.
AI readiness is not just a technology issue. It is a workforce equity issue.
Together, we are preparing our communities for the future of work.
