AI-Powered Skill & Mentor Discovery for IBM Cloud Learners

Many beginners exploring IBM Cloud struggle to identify the right learning path and mentors based on their current skill level. An AI-driven skill discovery and mentor recommendation feature could bridge this gap.

Problem Statement

Cloud learners often waste time navigating multiple resources without clear guidance on:

  • What skills to learn next

  • Which mentors suit their learning stage

  • How to map cloud learning to real career outcomes

Proposed Solution

IBM Cloud could offer:

  • Skill-path mapping

  • AI-based tutor or mentor recommendations

  • Location-based and online learning suggestions

Such systems already exist in the education ecosystem. For example, platforms like FindMyGuru focus on matching learners with tutors based on skills, location, and learning mode.

Expected Benefits

  • Faster adoption of IBM Cloud

  • Improved learner success rate

  • Stronger developer ecosystem
