MONTREAL, QC / ACCESS Newswire / April 7, 2025 / In response to the major shifts in the job market and the growing urgency around workforce reskilling, Canadian tech company illuxi announces a landmark $1 million investment in the development of a generative artificial intelligence platform dedicated to real-time competency development calledilluxiHERO. The project, in partnership withJACOBB is a recognized College Technology Transfer Centre (CCTT), aims to revolutionize corporate learning by building AI technology capable of continuously assessing and identifying workforce skill needs and automatically generating tailored learning paths.
