How We Build AI Training Workshops for Evanston
We begin by understanding your team's specific work, current AI tool usage, and training objectives. For a law firm on Sherman Avenue, that conversation reveals that the team needs to learn prompt engineering for legal document drafting, understands the confidentiality implications of using public AI tools with client information, and wants practice with AI-assisted research that maintains the quality standards the firm requires. For a consulting firm near Davis Street, it reveals that the team needs to understand AI for research synthesis, client presentation drafting, and data analysis, with particular attention to how to verify AI-generated output before using it in client deliverables.
We design a workshop curriculum specific to your team's work. Our workshops are not generic AI literacy programs. They include your specific tools, your specific document types, your specific workflow challenges, and your specific risk considerations. An Evanston law firm's workshop includes prompts designed for legal writing, exercises using the firm's common document types, and discussion of the ethical and confidentiality considerations specific to legal practice. A nonprofit's workshop focuses on the grant writing, program documentation, and donor communication applications most relevant to their staff.
We deliver workshops in a format that matches your team's availability and learning preferences. Half-day workshops work well for teams that need a shared foundation without extended schedule disruption. Full-day workshops with practice sessions work well for teams that want more depth and hands-on experience. Series of shorter sessions work well for organizations that want to build AI literacy progressively over several weeks.
We include post-workshop support. Questions about AI tool use emerge after training when team members apply what they learned to real work. We provide a 30-day follow-up period where team members can submit questions, share examples of AI use they are uncertain about, and get expert input on specific applications.

What to Expect Working With Us
1. Needs assessment and workshop design. We interview your leadership and a sample of team members to understand current AI tool usage, training objectives, and workflow context. We design a workshop curriculum specific to your team and deliver a program outline for your review before finalizing the workshop format and content. Assessment and design take one to two weeks.
2. Workshop delivery. We deliver the workshop in your Evanston office or a nearby venue, or via video conference for distributed teams. Workshops include presentation, demonstration, and hands-on practice in that sequence. Practice exercises use your actual document types and workflow scenarios, not generic examples.
3. Post-workshop resource package. We deliver a post-workshop package including prompt libraries, reference guides, and tool comparison resources specific to the applications covered in the workshop. These resources support continued learning and give team members a reference for applying what they learned.
4. Follow-up support period. For 30 days after the workshop, we provide email support for questions that arise as team members apply AI tools to real work. Questions that surface common gaps become the basis for a follow-up session if the team wants one.
