Role Readiness: Your Gaps for the AI Job You Want
What do I need to learn to get an AI governance job?
It depends on the role, and on what you can already prove. This tool answers in three steps.
- Name the job. Choose a role from the list, or paste the posting you are looking at. Either one becomes the list of competencies employers ask for in that job.
- Show what you already have. Sign in and every topic you have passed counts as proof. Paste your CV or name the field you come from and those count too, as shown or as claimed.
- Read your gaps and your program. Each competency comes back covered, partly covered or a gap, and the gaps become a program merged from the lessons that close them, in the order they are taught.
Why the program counts as proof: every lesson in it ends with you explaining it back in your own words, graded against the lesson. Pass, and the record shows the competency was demonstrated, not attended.
45 roles, 57 competencies, 21 backgrounds you may be coming from, and 799 graded topics across 8 programs behind it. Nothing you paste is stored.
What you already have: your background and your CV (both optional, both count)
Signed in? Every topic you have passed already counts as proof.

Questions
- How does the readiness score work?
- The role is a weighted set of competencies: required ones count fully, duties count a little less, preferred ones count half. Each competency is covered, partly covered or a gap depending on the evidence you hold, and the score is the weighted share you have covered.
- What counts as evidence?
- Three tiers. A topic you passed on GAGE is proof, because you explained it back and were graded against the lesson. A work product on your CV, something you built, authored or led, is a shown skill. A sentence that says you are familiar with something is a claim, and a claim never covers a requirement on its own.
- Is my CV or the job description stored?
- No. Both are read in the request that answers you and then discarded. Text from the EU, UK and Switzerland is processed by a provider with standard contractual clauses in place.
- What if the role asks for something GAGE does not teach?
- It stays on the list as a gap, marked as not covered by any GAGE program yet, and it still counts against readiness. We would rather show a gap than invent a lesson.
- Do I have to buy a whole program?
- The path shows how many topics in each program close your gaps. The first module of every program is free with a free account, and the price appears only after the free module, never here.
