AI for Professional Development: Chatbots, Prompt Engineering, and Task-Based Assistants – Wednesdays – July 2026

For Individuals:

Upgrade your skills with our 4-week AI workshop built for professionals. Each week you’ll join a 2-hour live session that gives you hands-on practice with the tools shaping modern work. We start with generative chat apps like ChatGPT and Google AI Studio, showing you how to use them effectively. You’ll learn prompt engineering techniques that make these systems work consistently better for you. In the final sessions we cover running local models with Ollama, so you understand when to use cloud tools and when to keep AI decentralized. By the end, you’ll have practical skills you can use daily. Additional 4-week sections are available if you want to go deeper, covering evaluations, fine-tuning, AI agents, and automated workflows.

For Employers:

Build AI awareness across your organization with a focused 4-week training program. Each week includes a 2-hour session designed to give employees a clear understanding of how to use AI responsibly and effectively. We cover generative chat platforms like ChatGPT and Google AI Studio, with an emphasis on prompt engineering for reliable results. The course also introduces local model deployment with Ollama, showing the tradeoffs between centralized and decentralized AI. A central focus is mitigating “Shadow AI” by teaching staff how to adopt ethical and informed practices instead of relying on unsanctioned tools. Your team gains practical skills while building a culture of safe, responsible AI use. For organizations ready to go further, we offer additional 4-week sections on evaluations, fine-tuning, AI agents, and automated workflows.
