About the program
Why is Verizon offering the AI Skills for America program?
At Verizon, our goal is to be the most trusted company in the world. For us, trust goes beyond providing a reliable network—it means standing by our customers and communities during times of massive technological change. We are actively leaning in to build an AI-ready workforce so that the digital divide does not become an AI divide. By equipping workers, K-12 educators, and small businesses with free essential AI skills, we are helping to ensure that the transition to the AI economy is inclusive, equitable, and designed for everyone to thrive.

Courses & credentials
Who created the courses?
Our courses are developed by leading AI and training providers, including OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, and IBM SkillsBuild.
How long do courses take?
It depends on the course. Some courses take as little as 15 minutes, while others offer more in-depth learning experiences. You can learn at your own pace and start, pause, or pick back up whenever it works for you.
How often is new content added?
We regularly update our course catalog with new content. Check back often to see what's new.
Why are courses subject to change without notice?
Course availability depends on our agreements and scheduling with external content providers. As provider catalogs and licensing partnerships evolve, specific courses or offerings may be updated, added, or removed.
What do I get when I finish a course?
You’ll earn industry-recognized course completion and, in some cases, certificates, as noted on the site. These can be added to your resume or portfolio. These credentials can require a fee elsewhere, but are completely free here.
Do all courses have a certificate?
You can earn a certificate by completing identified course series. Other courses offer digital credentials. Just look for the clear "certificate" or "digital credential" label in the course details to see what’s included.
