Human Cloud Community Call — April 2026
No fluff, just those in the trenches. This month: how to drive leads from ChatGPT and Claude, $165B in reshoring investments creating 20,000+ workforce gaps, SHRM Talent 2026 takeaways on skills validation, and why apprenticeship models outperform certifications.
Highlights
- Martins Vilums generating 3 leads per week from ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini with a 3-6 month implementation timeline
- TSMC Arizona: $165B investment, 12 fabs, 20,000 workers needed. 80% of required technicians and operators do not exist in the current market
