๐กJoรฃo Carp, Head of Training at Celfocus, explains why reskilling and upskilling in the AI-driven era are no longer optional, they are a strategic imperative. From maturity assessment to lifelong learning, organisations must move beyond generic training models and embed AI capability into their operating model. Competitive advantage does not come from adopting AI tools alone, but from empowering people to use them effectively, responsibly and with measurable impact. โUpdating skills are no longer optional. It is the only way to remain in the game.โ โก๏ธ Read the full article for Human Resources Portugal:

The session included hands-on tutorials covering the solutionโs key components: runtime, gateway, memory, identity, policy, observability, and evaluation. A great learning moment focused on the real challenges of taking AI agents from prototype to production and how AWS addresses them with purpose-built infrastructure. ๐ Thank you to everyone involved and if youโre curious to know more about this solution visit: https://aws.amazon.com/pt/bedrock/agentcore/.

By offering a unified, real-time, and contextualised view of multi-domain network infrastructure, NDTs empower CSPs to move from fragmented and reactive operations to intelligence-driven, autonomous networks. When combined with intelligent agents, robust data foundations, and the right ecosystem of tools and partners, NDTs help operators transition from reactive to predictive and prescriptive models, unlocking efficiency, service excellence, and strategic agility in a rapidly evolving telecom landscape. โก๏ธ Ready to know more about the key catalyst for autonomy?
