Verizon unveiled a $70 million initiative to provide free AI training across the U.S. for job seekers, small businesses, educators, and displaced workers.

A single online portal will host materials from IBM, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, Coursera, and OpenAI at no cost, complemented by hands‑on support from nonprofits such as Goodwill Industries International, Local Initiatives Support Corporation, and the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship. Verizon plans nationwide rollout with more intensive regional support and will adjust curricula based on participant feedback.
