LSET, a UK-based technology training school, has launched a corporate training portal in Bangladesh to help companies build practical skills in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. The portal brings enterprise-grade courses and hands-on labs to workplaces so staff can learn while keeping their day jobs. Modules include AI fundamentals and business strategy, machine learning and data science for teams, natural language processing for customer support, prompt engineering and large language model basics, AI governance and ethics, cyber hygiene for all staff, ethical hacking and penetration testing, incident response and recovery, secure coding, and compliance training such as ISO 27001 and GDPR awareness. Lessons use brief simulations, case studies, and projects so learners practice real tasks like spotting phishing, configuring secure chat systems, and running recovery drills. Delivery formats fit local needs: self-paced online modules, live virtual workshops, on-site bootcamps, and executive briefings. An analytics dashboard lets HR track progress, spot skills gaps, and link learning to business goals without extra paperwork. LSET says the portal has been piloted elsewhere and is adapted to Bangladesh with examples and compliance notes that reflect local work styles and connectivity limits. This local focus helps smaller firms and public agencies adopt modern tools without hiring outside consultants for every project. Industry leaders and companies have called for more in-house expertise as automation and AI change jobs and operations. A recent survey found a widespread shortage of AI and cybersecurity skills, and frequent security incidents have shown that workforce training is vital. By bringing practical, job-centred learning to teams, the portal aims to reduce reliance on contractors, speed up digital projects, and make services safer for customers. Firms can choose short courses that target a single team need or longer paths that prepare staff for new roles, with modules that include guidance on regional and international rules for exports and service contracts. Because the training mixes short lessons with practice and assessment, companies can raise skills with little disruption and measure improvements in security and project delivery. Experts say this corporate-centred approach could help close the skills gap, support faster digital growth, and protect businesses and users from costly breaches while creating higher-skilled jobs locally. Companies of all sizes can use tailored tracks so small teams and large departments both get relevant skills. Managers can run short executive briefings to understand risk and set priorities while developers take secure coding and ethical hacking modules. The portal also helps customer support teams learn safe ways to use AI tools and keep user data private. Training vendors will work with local partners to provide on-site setup, trainer support, and follow-up coaching for staff adoption. Early adopters report clearer policies, faster incident response times, and better coordination between IT and business teams and boost customer trust quickly.
