Pivot Forward provides powerful education, training, and certification opportunities for our members.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) knowledge is in high demand. IBM is known as a leader in AI. They created Watson, a computer system capable of answering questions posed in natural language. IBM Watson became the first cognitive computer, combining machine learning and artificial intelligence. Cloud Girls aligned with IBM SkillsBuild and encouraged members to learn about AI and receive their Artificial Intelligence Fundamentals digital credentials from IBM.
