The information technology (IT) industry is growing rapidly, and AI enablement is transforming the education and learning landscape. This article explores the use of personalized learning strategies in informal IT courses, especially if discussions take place among engineers with strong expertise in related technical contextes and it focuses on the role of generative AI-powered virtual mentors, comparing the learning experiences of experienced engineers and novices. Additionally, it explores ways to maintain motivation, identify strengths and weaknesses, and balance professional work with ongoing learning. The article discusses the shift in professionals from non-IT industries and the growing trend towards standardization in the AI era. Practical examples are integrated throughout to illustrate real-world applications of these concepts.
