OpenAI is developing a Jobs Platform designed to connect businesses with individuals proficient in artificial intelligence. According to Fidji Simo, CEO of Applications at OpenAI, the platform will utilize AI technology to enhance the matching process between candidates and employers.
The tool aims to support not only large corporations but also small businesses and local governments seeking AI expertise. For instance, the Texas Association of Business plans to use the platform to link thousands of employers with individuals capable of modernizing their operations.
Development of the platform involves collaboration with partners such as Walmart, John Deere, Boston Consulting Group, Accenture, Indeed, and the Bay Area Council. Additionally, the governor’s office in Delaware is participating, illustrating the integration of state bodies into the project.
Alongside the hiring platform, OpenAI is introducing certifications for workers. These certifications will range from basic workplace skills to advanced competencies such as prompt engineering.
Training will be available directly within ChatGPT through a Study mode, allowing learners to prepare for and complete certification tests without exiting the application. OpenAI has indicated that businesses can integrate these qualifications into their staff training programs.

The company aims to certify 10 million Americans by 2030, with Walmart as a launch partner. The retailer's US CEO, John Furner, emphasized the importance of equipping staff with the necessary tools to redefine retail practices.
OpenAI Academy, launched in April, serves as a free online hub for AI education. Over 2 million individuals have engaged with the Academy by participating in workshops, accessing resources, and joining learning groups.
The certification program seeks to build upon this foundation by providing a means for workers to demonstrate their verified skills. OpenAI has analyzed past retraining efforts to identify successful strategies and is tailoring its training offerings to better align with employer needs.
This initiative supports the White House’s efforts to enhance AI literacy, with OpenAI committed to broadening access to AI knowledge.
Fidji Simo acknowledged that AI will transform job landscapes in the coming years, offering opportunities for income generation and operational efficiency while also posing challenges. Both employees and managers will need to adapt to new working methodologies.
The provision of free access to ChatGPT is a preliminary step in facilitating learning for a vast user base, with OpenAI planning to introduce structured training to assist in career advancement.
Certification is anticipated to provide companies with confidence that new hires possess verified AI capabilities.
