Kind: research · Impact: low

## In brief

- A new study ran a hiring experiment in London testing whether holding an AI training certificate affects job interview invitations.
- For women who already receive fewer interviews, the AI certificate raised their interview invitation rate only slightly.
- The gain was smaller than the one seen by their male rivals, so the gap is not closed.

## Why it matters

The findings suggest that popular upskilling credentials may not offset existing hiring disadvantages for women, which matters for anyone relying on training as a route into work or for those designing equity measures.
