AI for Work — Free AI Workforce Training (Claude)

About the role

Money buys you time, but AI does too. Strategic Workforce Development (SWD) is enrolling for AI for Work, a free, hands-on class that teaches job seekers and working adults how to use AI in their everyday work and life. The class is built around Claude, the AI assistant SWD trains on, so you leave knowing one tool well instead of a little about many.

• Use Claude to write emails, resumes, cover letters, reports and other everyday documents
• Organize your workload, plan projects and save hours every week

• Use AI safely and responsibly, and check its work
• Leadership for AI: how to direct AI the way a manager directs a team
