AI Upskilling Program Impact & Skill Transfer Survey

Measures whether an AI skills training program actually changed how employees work — confidence gains, specific skill areas, and real on-the-job use — for L&D teams evaluating a completed cohort. The AI follow-up interview digs into what participants actually did differently at work and what's blocking wider adoption.

Pick best & worst per setBest:Most valuable for future trainingWorst:Least valuable for future training
Q09
AI Interview

Reconstruct a specific, concrete example of the respondent using an AI skill from this program in their actual work in the last 30 days — what the task was, what they did, and what the outcome was. If they said they've used it 'not at all', probe what's stopping them: forgotten skills, no relevant use case, lack of tool access, or lack of confidence. Anchor follow-ups on their stated confidence change and their frequency-of-use answer.

Q10
Opinion ScaleRequired

How likely are you to recommend this AI upskilling program to a colleague in a similar role?

Scale: 010
Min:Not at all likelyMax:Extremely likely
Q11
Multiple Choice

  • Prefer not to say
Q12
Multiple Choice

How long have you been with the organization?

  • Less than 6 months
  • 6 months to 2 years
  • 2 to 5 years
  • 5+ years
  • Prefer not to say
Q13
Message

That's everything — thank you! Your responses feed into a report on how well this program is changing day-to-day AI use, shared with the training team.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

Why this template

What this template is built to do — we found no directly comparable template from other survey tools to review.

What sets it apart

  • Pairs before/after confidence ratings with a skills matrix so L&D teams can quantify perceived skill gains by area, not just overall satisfaction
  • Includes an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs a specific, concrete example of the participant applying an AI skill on the job — surfacing real skill transfer instead of self-reported intent
  • Uses a max-diff exercise to prioritize which topics to emphasize in future cohorts, giving program owners actionable curriculum direction
  • Combines usage frequency, recommendation likelihood, and role/tenure segmentation questions with an auto-generated report, so evaluation and stakeholder reporting are built in rather than a separate step
