Grant Thornton Cyprus announces the launch of Grant Thornton Skills Lab, a new vocational training centre designed to equip professionals and businesses with practical skills and knowledge to respond to an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving business environment.
Drawing on the expertise of Grant Thornton professionals and specialists, Grant Thornton Skills Lab brings together practical training programmes across areas that are shaping the future of business, from Artificial Intelligence and sustainability to compliance, risk, cybersecurity and leadership.
The initiative has been developed with a clear focus on practical application. Through open training programmes, seminars and workshops, as well as tailored training solutions for individual businesses, Grant Thornton Skills Lab aims to bridge the gap between emerging business challenges and the skills professionals need to address them in practice.
Commenting on the launch, Monica Odysseos, AI & Data Lab Leader who is also leading this initiative at Grant Thornton Cyprus, said: “The pace of change is not slowing down for any of us, and the skills that matter shift with it. Through Grant Thornton Skills Lab, we are bringing the knowledge and experience of our specialists into a learning environment where professionals can explore new developments, understand what they mean for their organisations and, most importantly, apply them in their everyday work. Our ambition is not to teach this year’s answers. It is to build the adaptability that outlasts them.”
Upcoming training programmes
The first series of Grant Thornton Skills Lab programmes will take place during the final months of 2026 and will focus on areas where businesses are already experiencing significant change:
A practical workshop exploring how sustainability strategy and ESG considerations can support business performance, access to finance and the cost of capital.
A two-day programme providing practical skills in AI tools, prompt engineering, data analysis and responsible AI use in the workplace.
A practical programme covering the key provisions of the EU Pay Transparency Directive, employer obligations, job evaluation and pay structures, and the steps organisations need to take towards effective implementation and compliance.
A one-day programme focused on the practical use of Generative AI tools for creating text, images, video and audio content.
The training programmes offered through Grant Thornton Skills Lab are eligible for funding by the Human Resource Development Authority of Cyprus (HRDA), helping businesses and professionals access relevant learning and development opportunities.
Through Grant Thornton Skills Lab, Grant Thornton Cyprus aims to create an evolving learning offering that responds to developments in the market and draws on the knowledge of its people to support professionals and businesses in building the capabilities they need for what comes next.
More information about Grant Thornton Skills Lab and upcoming training programmes is available on the Grant Thornton Cyprus website.
