New training program equips public sector employees at all levels of government to enhance their AI literacy and skills development effectively across any platform
Washington, D.C. – September 3, 2025 – Planet Technologies (Planet), a leading provider of professional services and workforce enablement solutions to the U.S. public sector, today announced the launch of its Any AI Workforce Readiness Training, a comprehensive program that enables federal agencies to meet the requirements outlined in recent federal AI directives and executive mandates while also supporting the AI literacy goals of state and local governments.
As the United States accelerates its leadership in AI innovation, public sector agencies face a critical challenge: preparing their workforce and stakeholders to use AI. The Presidential directives call for rapid workforce upskilling, improved efficiencies, and strong communication strategies to foster public trust and confidence.
“Technology alone will not win the AI race. People will,” said Steve Winter, Executive Vice President for Planet Technologies. “Planet’s Any AI Workforce Readiness Training provides agencies with a turnkey solution to equip their employees with the skills needed to adopt AI technologies and meet federal compliance standards—while enabling mission success.”

- Mandate-Aligned – Built in alignment with current federal AI policy requirements and directives.
- Human-Centered – Prioritizes adoption, trust, and responsible use across roles and missions.
