In the digital age, traditional degrees aren’t always enough. The article by Rachel Wells for Forbes argues that ChatGPT has evolved from a conversation tool into a high-lever learning accelerator.

1. Embed new learning inside ChatGPT – Instead of just using it for simple queries, start prompts with “Act like my tutor in [skill]” or “Help me practice [topic] for three months”. This turns the platform into a personalised coach.
2. Use certified micro-learning modules – Access courses or credentials (such as from Coursera) via ChatGPT prompts to structure your learning path, build skills with guided checkpoints and prepare for higher-income roles.
3. Simulate real-world practice – Use ChatGPT to role-play client conversations, dissect case-studies, solve problems and craft deliverables for target jobs. The article stresses that applying skills is more valuable than just acquiring them.
