At PETE, it’s always been our mission to help organizations worldwide unlock smarter, faster, and more scalable ways to train their teams, and last week’s webinar was a powerful example of that in action.
During our live session, we had the pleasure of hosting an incredible group of HR, L&D, and business leaders from across South Africa, focusing on one big idea: How AI is Shaping the Future of Workforce Training.
Led by Jacques Fu, PETE’s Co-Founder and CTO, the webinar sparked meaningful conversations, showcased real-world applications of AI, and gave attendees a front-row seat to how this technology is being used to solve today’s biggest L&D challenges.
💡 Highlights from the Session
🤖 The Current State of AI
Jacques kicked things off by grounding the audience in what’s happening in the AI space today, from generative models like ChatGPT and Gemini to more specialized tools being built for workforce training. While AI is rapidly evolving, many organizations are still figuring out how to apply it responsibly and effectively.
🔐 Using AI Responsibly: Privacy First
A standout part of the discussion focused on responsible AI adoption, with a special emphasis on data privacy. Jacques reminded everyone that while AI tools can be incredibly powerful, they need to be configured with care. He walked attendees through how to turn off data-sharing settings to ensure company information stays private and out of AI training models.
🌍 Real-World Use Cases
Throughout the webinar, Jacques shared real examples of how global companies can integrate AI into developing their L&D programs to improve onboarding, personalize learning, and scale workforce training. These stories offered fresh perspective on what’s possible and what’s already happening.
🎯 Live Demo: AI Simulations in Action
One of the most talked-about moments came during Jacques’ live demo of PETE’s AI-powered Skill Simulations. Attendees got a front-row seat to how we’re transforming training with role-play agents that mimic real conversations, give real-time feedback, and help employees build confidence without needing a manager or instructor present.
🌍 Helping Organizations Elevate Learning Everywhere
This webinar was more than just a presentation. It was part of our broader commitment to delivering practical, innovative solutions to organizations around the world. And the incredible participation from the South African business community reminded us that there’s a strong appetite for AI-driven learning across emerging markets.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event a success! We’re excited to continue supporting leaders in South Africa and beyond with the tools, insights, and strategies they need to build stronger teams.
