WILMINGTON — Delaware is leading the nation in AI education as Governor Matt Meyer announced the state will be the first to join the OpenAI Certification Program. The initiative aims to give students and workers access to fundamental skills in artificial intelligence through schools and workforce training programs. The program will be managed by Delaware’s new Office of Workforce Development, established earlier this year to modernize skills training across the state. Participants will be able to earn certifications in AI tools ranging from basic workplace applications to advanced techniques such as prompt engineering. 
“AI is already changing how we live and work. It’s critical that Delaware’s workforce has the tools to lead the way in tomorrow’s economy,” said Governor Meyer. “This partnership ensures Delawareans of all ages can learn these tools and put them to work in classrooms, workplaces, and communities.”
OpenAI CEO Fidji Simo emphasized the importance of broad access to AI skills, noting partnerships with major employers and community organizations. Delaware will help shape how certifications are implemented at the community level, making AI literacy and productivity more accessible to everyone. Pilot programs will be rolled out in schools, colleges, and workplaces in the coming months, aiming to prepare Delawareans to not only use technology but create it. OpenAI’s broader goal is to certify 10 million Americans in AI skills by 2030.
