AI in the Workplace: A 4-Week Practical Course

About This Event

Move beyond asking AI questions and start using Claude as a connected teammate that retains context, works with your data, assists with multi-step tasks, and automates recurring work.

 

What You Get:

  • Four instructor-led weekly workshop sessions

  • Hands-on exercises using real work scenarios

  • Facilitator support throughout the program

  • Practical take-home project or workflow

  • Networking and happy hour after sessions

The Five Building Blocks of Modern AI Workflows:

  • Projects – reusable AI workspaces that retain knowledge and context

  • Skills – consistent AI outcomes by teaching Claude how work gets done

  • Connectors – connect AI to business data, tools, and documents

  • Agents – delegate routine tasks like research, reporting, and follow-up

  • Automation – streamline recurring work on your preferred schedule

You'll Leave With:

  • A completed AI-powered workflow you can use immediately

  • Practical skills to apply to everyday work

  • A workflow, project, or automation delivering ongoing value

  • A Certificate of Completion

Who Should Attend: Business owners and leaders, knowledge workers, teams focused on reporting/research/knowledge management, and managers looking to streamline operations through AI. No prior AI or technical experience required.

A Claude Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan is recommended, as several capabilities covered (Projects, Connectors, Agents, Scheduled Tasks) require paid features. Registration is for the full four-week program; each session builds on the last.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do I need a Claude license to participate?
Yes. A Claude Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan is recommended. Several capabilities covered in Weeks 2 through 4, including Projects, Connectors, Agents, and Scheduled Tasks, may require access to paid Claude features.

 

Do I need previous AI or Claude experience or technical skills?
No. This AI workshop is designed for business professionals and assumes no prior experience with Claude, AI workflow automation, or AI-powered workflows. You don't need coding or technical skills to participate. If you're comfortable using email, documents, spreadsheets, and web applications, you'll have the experience needed to succeed.

 

What could I build during an AI workshop?
Throughout the workshop, you'll apply what you're learning to a real business challenge and build an AI-powered workflow tailored to your role and responsibilities. Examples may include:

  • Meeting preparation and briefing workflows

  • Research and information-gathering assistants

  • Executive and team reporting workflows

  • Document summarization and analysis tools

  • Knowledge management solutions

While these examples provide inspiration, participants are encouraged to build something aligned with their own goals, workflows, and business needs.

 

What makes this AI workshop different from an online Claude course?
Unlike a self-paced Claude course, you'll receive hands-on guidance from the Inner Join team, apply what you're learning to real workplace scenarios, and leave with a completed project, workflow, or automation you can start using immediately. As a business technology consultancy, Inner Join helps organizations improve operations through data, automation, AI, and business applications. This workshop is built on real-world experience helping businesses turn technology into measurable results, not just theory.

 

Do I need to attend all four Claude course sessions?
Yes. Registration is for the complete four-week program rather than individual sessions. Each session builds on concepts introduced in previous weeks, so attendance throughout the series is strongly encouraged to get the most value from the workshop and successfully complete your project.
