AI can draft your emails. Data can shape your next big decision. New digital tools seem to pop up before you’ve figured out what the last ones do. Keeping up can feel like a job in itself.

That’s where digital fluency comes in. It’s about giving employees the skills and confidence to use new technology in their day-to-day work and adapt as that technology changes. And with AI reshaping how many of us work, those skills matter more than ever.

But digital fluency doesn’t happen after one training session or a quick tutorial. It takes time, practice, and chances to put new skills to work.

This month, we’re spotlighting companies that are making that happen. From AI hackathons and hands-on projects to data literacy training, mentorship, and learning programs, these employers are finding practical ways to help their people learn, experiment, and keep growing.

Here’s how they’re building digital fluency in the workplace.

At Match Group, we treat AI fluency as a company-wide skill, not just an engineering one. This spring, Match Group and Tinder ran a company-wide AI Day, while Hinge hosted an AI Hackathon. Across every region, every team built one automation to remove something tedious from their week. Ahead of the events, we hosted hands-on trainings with partners like Anthropic and Glean, covering everything from prompting to agent-building. The best ideas didn't end when the day did. We turned winning skills and agents into shared tools the whole company can use, keeping the momentum going.
