KPMG has repositioned its $450 million Orlando Lakehouse—originally built as a cultural and training campus—into a central hub for upskilling employees on generative AI and other emerging technologies. The firm is running large-scale immersive sessions with cohorts of interns and professionals, using the facility to accelerate practical AI skills and to pilot public-private workforce partnerships. Higher education institutions evaluating corporate partnerships or executive-education models should note the Lakehouse blueprint: deep investments in residential, hands-on training can shorten employer reskilling cycles and compete with traditional academic continuing-education offerings.
