AI Proof Your Career Workshop

We are living through one of the biggest shifts in the world of work since the industrial revolution – and it’s happening fast. Artificial intelligence is no longer a future trend; it’s here, reshaping industries, roles, and expectations. AI Proof Your Career is a half-day workshop designed to help you respond with confidence. You’ll learn how to work with tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, not just to keep up – but to stay relevant, competitive, and prepared for what’s next. Whether you’re navigating a career change, running your own business, or simply want to sharpen your edge, this course gives you practical, professional tools that you can use immediately.

Who This Workshop Is For?

This workshop is for anyone who wants to stay competitive in a world where AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot are rapidly changing how we work. You might be:

• A professional who wants to use ChatGPT and Copilot to enhance productivity, not be replaced by it
• A freelancer looking to streamline content creation, research, or client communication with AI
• A jobseeker who wants to learn how to use AI to tailor resumes, practise interviews, and explore new career options
• A small business owner curious about how structured prompting and AI tools can save time and reduce admin
• Someone who’s heard about generative AI and wants a hands-on, practical session to finally understand and use it
• And on that note: Someone simply curious and ready to do, not just read about, AI

No AI experience required. Just bring your laptop and a willingness to explore how these tools can support your career. Don’t forget your power supply. Laptops have a bad habit of running out of juice.

What You’ll Gain?

This workshop is for people who want to go beyond casual ChatGPT use and actually understand how to work with AI – logically, strategically, and creatively.

By the end of this session, you’ll:

• Understand and apply structured prompting frameworks like Chain of Thought, Role-Based Reasoning, and Tree of Thoughts
• Know how to guide AI step by step through tasks like drafting, rewriting, researching, and reflecting – so it’s not guessing, it’s thinking with you
• Practise using reasoning models that help AI produce more accurate, helpful, and contextual results in professional settings
• Learn when to use ChatGPT and when to lean on Copilot tools in Word, Outlook, and beyond
• Use AI to analyse your career path, reframe your value, and explore adjacent opportunities using exploratory prompts
• Build confidence not just in the tools—but in your ability to shape and lead the interaction

You’ll walk out with the practical skills to collaborate with AI in your daily work, and a clear understanding of how structured prompting gives you the edge in a fast-changing job market.
