The ChatGPT Accelerator Workshop introduces students to core concepts, tools, and techniques essential for understanding and applying AI technologies in professional, academic, and personal settings. Students will gain hands-on experience using ChatGPT, building task-specific prompts, creating custom GPTs, and exploring AI’s most advanced features including real-time voice/vision, Canvas, and image generation.
Graduates of the program will receive a Beginner’s Certificate upon completion. Employment opportunities may include roles in business operations, marketing, healthcare, education, finance, customer service, and HR—where AI knowledge is increasingly essential.
The six-week program includes weekly 2-hour classes (in-person or Zoom), with topics ranging from AI fundamentals to prompt engineering, workflow automation, and ethical integration into organizations. Students will build a practical AI toolkit, culminating in a capstone project and live feedback session.
Participants should be aware that AI tools are rapidly evolving. While this course provides a strong foundation, continued education is encouraged to stay current. No technical background is required.
