Built on the U.S. Department of Labor AI Literacy Framework

5 skills every learner masters

The same 5 areas the federal framework names as the foundation of AI literacy, taught in the career you picked.

1

Understand AI

Learn what AI can do, what it cannot do, and why it sometimes sounds sure when it is wrong.

Module 2
3

Direct AI

Give AI the right context and write clear prompts that get useful work back the first time.

Module 3
4

Evaluate AI

Check every answer for truth and gaps before you trust it, and fix what is wrong.

Module 4
5

Use AI responsibly

Protect private information, follow the rules where you learn and work, and own every word you submit.

Module 5

Then you build.

Modules 6 to 8 put all 5 skills to work. You use AI in your own career move, build a real project for your field or for a local employer, and present it to a panel of professionals.

Modules 6, 7, and 8

How it is taught

7 principles in every session

The framework's 7 delivery principles, and what each one looks like when you are in the room.

1

Learn by doing

Every session is a lab. You use AI more than you hear about it.

2

In your career

Every lab uses tasks from the career you picked.

3

Human skills first

Your judgment, communication, and teamwork are what get scored.

4

Basics before tools

Digital basics come first, so no one gets left behind.

5

A next step

You leave with the next AI skill or credential to go after.

6

Your teachers too

Staff training helps the adults around you support your AI learning.

7

Always current

Tools and examples are refreshed every cohort as AI changes.

  • Results reported by the 5 federal content areas
