Electives opens live expert-led AI classes to every employee in a company
Boston-based learning platform Electives has launched Electives for Everyone, a model that gives every employee in an organization access to live, expert-led classes and hands-on AI simulations. According to the company, the offer is available now and can be reached directly from the AI tools staff already use.
- Electives launched Electives for Everyone, giving all employees in an organization access to live expert-led classes and AI simulations.
- An MCP server lets employees find and register for classes from the AI tools they already use.
- Electives says its scale allows live learning at a lower price than some pre-recorded content.
- The company curates new live classes every month around current AI and human skills.
- The offer is available now; the release gives no pricing figures.
What Electives for Everyone includes
Electives describes itself as an AI fluency and workplace learning platform. With the new model, it says all employees in a company get full access to its live classes and AI simulations, rather than a select group.
The package, according to the company, includes:
- Live, expert-led classes covering foundational and advanced AI skills, manager training, and the human skills employees need to navigate change and do their best work
- AI simulations for every employee, offering a safe place to practice applying AI skills in realistic scenarios
- Learning in the flow of work, through an MCP server that brings Electives into the AI tools employees already use
- Minimal administrative lift for People and L&D teams
The MCP server lets employees discover and register for relevant classes without leaving the AI tools they already work in. Electives says it also curates new live classes every month around the AI and human skills employees need most at that moment.
Why the company says broad access is now possible
Electives argues that unequal access to development has become a business risk as AI reshapes nearly every role. Organizations ask all of their people to adapt, the company says, but only some receive the support to do so. It points to the 5% of employees who traditionally receive the greatest investment in development.
The company links the launch to its growth. Since starting its Membership program two years ago, Electives says its community of learners has reached a scale that makes company-wide access to live classes economically possible, at a fraction of the traditional per-person cost.
Krikor Dzeronian, Co-Founder and COO, said the company has reached a milestone where it can "offer live, expert-led learning to everyone at a lower price than some pre-recorded content." The release does not give actual prices.
Voices from Electives and DraftKings
Jason Lavender, Co-Founder and CEO of Electives, said: "AI can give you answers. But changing how you work takes more than answers. It takes learning from people, hearing their stories, and practicing with others."
Linda Aiello, Chief People Officer at DraftKings, was quoted in the release on the need for wide upskilling. "Employers can't upskill a small slice of their workforce and expect to keep pace," she said. "They need to build both human and AI skills across all of their people."
Electives organizes the model around what it calls three A's for People teams: Accessible, Affordable and Adaptive.
What it means for employers
For People and HR leaders, the pitch is a single offer that reaches the whole workforce instead of a small group, with little program management on their side. Electives says it works with these teams to turn AI strategy into people strategy, using live classes, AI fluency assessments, cohort programs, hackathons and AI simulations.
Details such as pricing tiers, minimum company size and which AI tools the MCP server supports are not given in the announcement. Companies interested in the model would need to ask Electives for those specifics.
