AI in the Workplace · Eight Weeks · Live Online · Starts October 6
Oct 6Next Cohort Starts Soon — Register NowIN 8 WEEKS, BUILD WHAT USED TO TAKE A COMPUTER SCIENCE DEGREE.
An AI assistant that actually knows your documents. An app you vibe coded and shipped to real users. An automation that took over a task you used to do by hand and hasn't stopped since.
Eight weeks · Fully online · Two live sessions a week · Starts October 6
What you leave with
Six projects, built by you.
- A web app you deployed and can explain.
- An AI assistant grounded in real documents, plus proof it works.
- An automation running in place of something you used to do by hand.
- A prompt library you'll keep using.
- A researched brief with every source checked.
- Writing that sounds like you, not like AI.
You also get a portfolio, a three-minute demo you've rehearsed, your own written policy on how you use AI, and the Fidgetech AI for the Workplace Certificate.
ROLES THIS PROGRAM SUPPORTS
AI fluency has stopped being a job title. It's now what makes you the strongest candidate for the job you already want, and employers are hiring for it in every department, not just IT.

Software and development
Junior Full Stack Developer, Junior Front End Developer, Junior Software Developer, QA and Test Automation Engineer, Junior Solutions Engineer
Marketing and content
Marketing Coordinator, Content Specialist, Social Media Associate, Communications Assistant

Emerging AI roles
AI Workflow Associate, AI Content Specialist, Automation Specialist, AI Operations Associate
If you're already working, these skills apply to the job you have now. Plenty of our learners aren't changing jobs at all. They're becoming the person on their team who can actually build with AI.
What you can say in an interview
By Week 8 you won't be explaining what AI can do. You'll be explaining what you built.
- "I built and deployed an internal tool."
- "I built an assistant that answers new hire questions from our documentation, and I tested it against 30 real questions before I shipped it."
- "I automated a weekly report that used to take someone two hours."
- "I wrote our team's AI use policy."
That last one lands harder than people expect. Most organizations are adopting AI faster than they're governing it, so being the person who thought about the boundaries counts for a lot.
Why now
In PwC's 2026 survey of over a billion job ads, roles asking for AI skills paid substantially more than the same roles without them. Lightcast found that more than half of those postings sit outside IT. And most hiring leaders now say they'd take a less experienced candidate with AI skills over a more experienced one without. By pairing AI with the skills you already have, you'll be able to build things that used to take a team. You'll leave with a portfolio of six of them.

How it works
Eight weeks, two live sessions a week.
You know what you are building and when you are done.
Fully online, applied from week one.
Every week you build something with current AI tools, based on work that turns up at real companies.
A coach, not a lecture hall.
You work with a coach on your own projects, at a pace that fits how you focus and process information.
Built for you from the start.
Fidgetech was founded for adults experiencing autism. We are expanding to welcome the broader community of neurodivergent learners.
Who this is for
Two doors, one program. Both run the same eight weeks.
You are working now.
You want to be the person who builds the thing, not the person waiting for someone else to build it. Every project uses work from the job you already have, so what you build in Week 5 can be running at work in Week 6. Your employer can sponsor your seat and be invoiced for it.
You are looking for work.
You need proof you can put in front of someone, not a certificate you can't demo. You build against a supplied case company in the industry you are targeting. Same eight weeks, same six projects, same portfolio. You can name every skill on your resume and show the work behind it.
The eight weeks
Each week you pick one project and build it.
| Week | Weekly project (choose one) | AI skills |
|---|---|---|
01 Prompt engineering as a professional skillWrite structured, reusable prompts and explain why one works better than another. | A status update three audiences will read, meeting notes turned into action items, or a first-pass reply to a request that comes in every week. | Prompt engineering, system prompt design, few-shot prompting, prompt chaining, LLM fundamentals |
02 AI-powered research and knowledge systemsRun AI research and check it well enough to put your name on it. | A competitor or vendor comparison, a background brief before a decision meeting, or a long report summarized for several audiences. | AI-assisted research, source verification, information synthesis, knowledge management |
03 AI-assisted writing that still sounds like youDraft faster with AI without it reading like AI wrote it. | A dense internal doc rewritten for a general audience, a project update email, or documentation for a process only one person knows. | AI-assisted writing, content editing, voice and tone control, AI disclosure |
04 Build your own AI assistant: context engineering and evalsBuild an assistant grounded in a real document set and test whether it actually works. | An onboarding assistant that answers new-hire questions from a set of team documents, a policy assistant, or a research assistant grounded in a body of material. | Context engineering, custom AI assistant development, RAG, eval design, AI testing |
05 Workflow automation and AI agentsTake a manual recurring process, automate it, and explain the difference between a prompt, an assistant, and an agent. | The weekly report someone currently exports and emails by hand, a request intake that routes and notifies, or a recurring data pull that cleans and summarizes itself. | Workflow automation, AI agents, agentic workflows, data analysis with AI, automated reporting |
06 Vibe coding: ship your first working toolScope and build a working app with AI, and read the code well enough to change it on purpose. | A tracker replacing a spreadsheet too many people now depend on, a team dashboard, a request and approval tool, or a handoff log. You keep this project through Week 7. | Vibe coding, AI-assisted development, code comprehension, product scoping, rapid prototyping, debugging with AI |
07 Integrations, MCP, and shipping itConnect an AI tool to real data, put it in front of people, and say how it should improve. | Your Week 6 tool, connected to live data and running somewhere people can actually use it. | API integration, MCP (Model Context Protocol), deployment, feedback loop design |
08 Portfolio, demo, and your AI playbookShow your work and describe it in the words employers and clients actually use. | Your six projects, written up with metrics, example resume updates, a three-minute demo, and your AI use policy. | Technical documentation, project storytelling, data storytelling, presentation skills, responsible AI, AI governance, AI risk assessment |
EVERY AI governance practiceSay where you draw the line on AI, and why. | A running set of decisions that becomes your AI use policy. | Responsible AI, AI governance, AI risk assessment, data privacy, ethical decision-making |
