Organizations are racing to invest in artificial intelligence, data infrastructure, and cloud capabilities, but investments alone are not enough. Without a workforce that understands the technologies shaping today’s economy, even the most advanced tools fall short of their potential.
According to Accenture, 91% of CEOs plan to increase spending on data and AI training over the next year. Yet only 5% of organizations are reskilling at scale. The gap between technological ambition and workforce readiness is growing, and closing it has become a business imperative.
Today, we’re excited to announce that Accenture TQ (Technology Quotient) is now available on the Udacity platform. This new integration makes it easier than ever for organizations to build technology fluency across the workforce and prepare employees for the demands of a rapidly changing business landscape.
What Is Technology Quotient (TQ)?
TQ is Accenture’s foundational learning program designed to help employees understand how emerging technologies work and how they can be applied in a business context. TQ provides an essential baseline of knowledge in key areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Cloud, Agile and DevOps, Automation, Blockchain, Data, Enterprise Platforms and Security.
Unlike technical certification programs, TQ is built for all roles within an organization. It equips teams with a shared language and understanding that enables faster technology adoption, stronger collaboration, and smarter decision-making.
A Smarter Way to Scale Tech Fluency
TQ serves as a springboard for continuous learning. It gives employees the context they need to engage in transformation efforts and empowers companies to:
- Develop a baseline understanding of transformative technologies across roles and departments
- Prepare the workforce to actively contribute to AI, cloud, and data initiatives
- Accelerate collaboration between technical and non-technical teams
- Identify high-potential talent within the organization who are ready to grow into technical roles
Whether you’re rolling out generative AI tools, evolving data strategies, or scaling cloud solutions, TQ helps ensure that everyone is aligned and capable of driving value.
A New TQ Learning Experience, Now on Udacity
With Accenture’s acquisition of Udacity, the TQ experience has been redesigned and relaunched on Udacity’s enterprise learning platform. Clients will now benefit from a more seamless, scalable, and impactful experience.
