AI Literacy Programme: our largest ever training initiative
No technological evolution has changed the way we work, learn and communicate in recent years quite as dramatically as AI. The technology is no longer something from the future: it’s here and now, changing how our readers consume news. That’s why Mediahuis has chosen to embrace AI as a strategic lever. The goal: to empower our employees, boost creativity and increase the impact of our work.
Spearheading our strategy is the AI Literacy Programme, the largest training initiative in the group’s history. It raises all our colleagues to an equal level of knowledge about AI and the tools for using it effectively. The programme began in November 2025 and consists of three phases.
- Lay the foundations: fundamental training for everyone.
- Tailor-Made: practical workshop clusters based on discipline and specialisation.
- Up to you: staff experiment by themselves in their work.
The AI Literacy Programme is one of the building blocks of AIM, the group’s overarching AI initiative. With it, Mediahuis is investing in the sustainable employability of all its staff members, while reinforcing a culture of innovation and agility. The programme is not an end but a starting point for further AI initiatives. It’s how we ensure that everyone at Mediahuis is ready to exploit the opportunities of AI safely and efficiently.
