Two hands-on, 3-hour workshops this fall, hosted by our college partners. Technicians use AI on everyday work, then check the output before they act on it.
No coding. No jargon. All examples come from technician work.
Space is limited. Register early to secure your seat.
Manufacturers are investing in AI and automation. Investment in the technicians who run and maintain the equipment lags behind. Technicians will use AI tools. They need training to judge whether the output is correct and safe to act on.
These workshops teach a method for that judgment. Technicians use AI on a real task, then check the output against the SOP, the data or a colleague before they act.
Each workshop is the first step toward an AI-Ready Technician pathway at the host college, built with Wayfinder Labs and industry partners.
Both workshops use the same four tasks. Participants work with ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude on the free tier, so they can keep using the same tools after the workshop.
Bring a work challenge – something slow, unclear or frustrating – to explore during the session. Bring a description only, not company data. The exercises use synthetic data.
