AI is moving fast. And it can feel like you're already behind. AI READY is a 2 part series designed to change that. This is a beginner friendly introduction to generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot. No tech background required.

Grounded in a human-centered approach, this series puts your judgment, your work, and your values at the center of how AI gets used. You'll leave with a new understanding of what AI can and can't do, practical skills you can use right away and a clear sense of where AI fits into your day-to-day work.

Session 1: Learn what generative AI is, how it works in plain language, and why it matters right now. Through live demos and practical examples, you'll learn how to get more useful, reliable results from tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot. This session includes an introduction to prompting as a concept, basic guardrails and a framework for responsible use.

Session 2: Now that you've seen what AI can do, how do you incorporate it into your role?

Breakout time gives you space to practice, reflect, and brainstorm. This session also covers change management, including why resistance is normal and how to start small without getting overwhelmed.

Finally, we'll explore what's possible beyond the basics, so you leave with a clear sense of where to go next.

Format: Two 90-minute virtual session
