What a session covers
Every session is scoped to what your organization actually needs — anywhere from foundational AI literacy for a board, to hands-on technical training on building agents and development workflows, to a session focused entirely on change management. There's no fixed curriculum; here's the toolkit these sessions draw from:
- AI literacy & strategy: foundational training for boards, executives, and teams on generative AI, LLMs, and machine learning — what's a feature versus a strategy.
- Prompt engineering workshops: the RTF (Role, Task, Format) and CREATE frameworks, so staff get consistent, useful output instead of guessing.
- Hands-on technical training: for teams that want to go deeper — building your first AI agent, structuring a development workflow, or working sessions with your dev team.
- Responsible-use guardrails: what to avoid, what to document, and how to build an AI policy your organization can actually follow.
- Adaptability consulting: change management so new tools and practices actually stick after the workshop ends.
Frequently asked questions
Can you train non-technical staff, not just developers?
Yes — that's most of the work. Sessions are built for boards, executives, and frontline staff with no technical background, using plain-language frameworks like RTF (Role, Task, Format) and CREATE rather than jargon.
Do you cover AI policy and responsible use, not just tools?
Yes. Adaptability consulting and responsible-use guardrails are part of every workforce training engagement — the goal is staff who use AI safely and effectively, not just staff who've seen a demo.
Can a session go beyond AI literacy into technical work?
Yes. Sessions are scoped around what your organization actually wants — from foundational AI literacy for a board, all the way to hands-on training on building agents and development workflows. Change-management-focused sessions are just as common as technical ones.
Will you travel to our organization?
In-person sessions are available across the southern Oregon coast and beyond — past workshops have run in Reedsport and for organizations across the Siuslaw region. Virtual sessions are available anywhere.
What size groups do you train?
From small boards and leadership teams to full-conference workshops with well over 100 attendees — the TSOC Network Conference drew around 120, and the 2025 People's Coast Summit was a similar scale.
