AI Futures Lab — one class, everything in it
We used to run three separate AI classes. Now it is one. Whether you are job hunting, working a job, running a business or starting one, you are in the same room learning the same tool. 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.
What You Will Learn
- Write emails, resumes, cover letters, reports and everyday documents with AI
- Organize your workload, plan projects and save hours every week
- Use AI in a business: proposals, pricing, customer messages, marketing and bookkeeping support
- Use AI to start and run a business: business plans, branding, contracts and funding research
- Connect AI to the tools you already use, like Word, Excel and PowerPoint
- Use AI safely and responsibly, and check its work
- Leadership for AI: how to direct AI the way a manager directs a team

Four hands-on sessions over two weeks, ending with a real-world assessment. Computers are provided on site. No experience required. No tech background required.
