Foundations
Where most agencies start. The half-day gets a department working safely with AI in one morning; the full-day adds hands-on practice on your own documents.

Who this is for
Built for the way public agencies actually work.
School districts and county offices of education. Cities, counties, and courts. Special districts, water agencies, and JPAs. Personnel Commissions and Merit System agencies. The training companies and associations that serve them.
If your team is fielding questions about AI in job analysis, applicant screening, workplace investigations, or classification studies, and the answer so far has been "wait," this is the session that replaces waiting with a process. Everything is taught against the documents, rules, and risk tolerance of California public employment, by someone who works inside them every day.
Private employers are welcome too. The same practical approach has been applied outside government, including a multi-location family-owned restaurant group where the work covered AI integration for daily operations, a manager training program, and the accountability system that keeps training from fading after the session ends.
2026 training catalog
Fifteen programs in four tracks. Half-day or full-day, virtual or on site.
Direct pricing is published so a coordinator can start a requisition without a sales call. Training companies and associations: ask for instructor rates.
HR and Personnel
Six sessions built around the functions a Merit System HR department runs every week. Each one is taught by someone who has done the job.
Department Focus
The same practical approach, applied to the work of a specific department. Useful when HR is asked to bring AI to the rest of the organization.
Specialized Topics
For leadership teams, counsel, and anyone who has to write the AI policy rather than just follow it.
How an engagement works
From first email to a room full of trained staff, in four steps.
A short scoping call
Twenty minutes on your audience, the AI tools your agency has approved, and the risks your counsel cares about.

Delivery, and what your team keeps
Half-day or full-day, on Zoom, Teams, or in your training room. Everyone leaves with the CHATPROMPT framework, a prompt library for their function, and written guidance they can hand to a supervisor.
