2026 training catalogEvery session is hands-on, taught against real public-sector documents, and delivered by a sitting Merit System HR executive. Half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours). On Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or in your training room anywhere in California.
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.
A structured, ten-level framework that turns vague requests into accurate, consistent, defensible AI output. Built for the documents public agencies actually produce.
For teams past the basics. Multi-stage prompting, self-consistency checks, chain-of-density summarization, and quality control for high-stakes work.
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.
Using AI to conduct job analysis, draft position descriptions, build competency frameworks, and support classification studies without losing defensibility.
Developing, validating, and improving selection instruments: written tests, performance exercises, and structured interviews, with AI as a drafting partner and a psychometrician in the room.
Designing curricula, developing learning materials, assessing training needs, and measuring outcomes with AI support.
Using generative AI to organize evidence, plan interviews, and draft findings while protecting confidentiality, avoiding bias, and keeping the record defensible.
Practical AI for policy analysis, documentation, performance management, and employee communications.
AI in talent acquisition, from bulletins to screening, with fairness, compliance, and Merit System rules built into the process.
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.
Budget narratives, fiscal analysis, accounting documentation, and public-sector reporting.
Asset management, maintenance planning, and project documentation.
Water resources, wastewater, stormwater, and utility operations.
Urban planning, zoning, community development, and land use documentation.
Program development, community engagement, and operations.
For leadership teams, counsel, and anyone who has to write the AI policy rather than just follow it.
Governance, transparency, compliance, and risk when public agencies use AI. Frequently requested by leadership teams and legal counsel.
How AI can support evaluations, feedback, and development conversations without automating the judgment that has to stay human.
