AI for Workplace Productivity Skills Bootcamp

Help staff save time and work smarter with AI

AI is changing how businesses work, but many teams still need practical guidance on using it safely and effectively.
Cosmic’s AI for Workplace Productivity Skills Bootcamp gives employees, business owners and self-employed people the skills to use AI for real workplace tasks. The training focuses on tools and techniques that can reduce repetitive work, speed up everyday activities and support better results.
Learners will gain hands-on experience with tools including ChatGPT, Canva AI, Excel Copilot and no-code automation platforms.
The course covers:

• Writing effective prompts to get more useful results
• Creating emails, reports, summaries and business content
• Producing branded graphics and marketing materials
• Organising, cleaning and presenting data
• Automating routine tasks and workflows
• Using AI safely, ethically and responsibly

Every learner completes a practical project based on a genuine business need. This could involve improving an internal process, creating a new content system, analysing data or finding a quicker way to complete regular tasks.

Which businesses could benefit?
The Bootcamp could help Somerset businesses that want to:

• Reduce time spent on repetitive administration
• Help employees feel more confident using AI
