Company Profile

Wordwall.netmakes creating custom teaching materials easy. Teachers can simply enter the content appropriate for their class - keywords, multiple choice questions, images - to create engaging educational activities such as game-show quizzes, flash cards, crosswords, labelled diagrams and arcade games.

We seek to disrupt the publisher-driven model of paid-for "professionally" made educational content by putting high-quality content creation in the hands of teachers, and making that teacher-made content freely accessible through our online community.

We are a small team with big ambitions, who work remotely across the world. We've got a product that works, and we're building for the long-term. We want people who want to stick around, grow with us, and help make games-based learning accessible to all.

We value diversity within our team. We support flexible working arrangements.

Real applicants only - please do not contact us if you represent an agency.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
