# Training & Capacity Building

## Introduction

UNESCO recognizes that successful implementation of data and AI projects requires continuous learning and skill development. This section outlines the available training resources and capacity building opportunities designed to enhance staff competencies in data analytics and artificial intelligence. Through partnerships with leading platforms and UN-wide initiatives, we provide comprehensive learning paths tailored to different skill levels and roles within the organization.
