AI for Everyday use in the workplace


Description

Course Overview

Artificial intelligence can help employees write, research, analyse information, create presentations, improve communication and manage routine workplace tasks. However, productive AI use requires more than entering a quick question. Employees must choose an appropriate tool, provide clear instructions, verify outputs and protect organisational information.

This course introduces six widely used workplace AI tools:

  • ChatGPT
  • Google Gemini
  • Microsoft Copilot
  • Claude
  • Canva AI
  • Grammarly

The tools’ features and availability depend on the organisation’s subscription, settings and approved-use policies. Their official workplace materials position them broadly around productivity, writing, analysis and content creation: OpenAI, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Canva and Grammarly.

Target Audience

This course is suitable for:

  • Administrative and support employees.
  • Customer service and sales teams.
  • Human Resources personnel.
  • Finance and procurement employees.

Recommended Duration

8 hours of self-paced learning, including practical activities and the final assessment.
