New AI Workshops with UNH Professional Development & Training

If you're trying to figure out what AI actually means for your work, you're not alone.

Most of us are somewhere between curious and overwhelmed. We continue to see the headlines, hear the hype, and wonder: Is this really going to change my job? Should I be learning this? Where do I even start?

That's why North Light AI is excited to share that we're partnering with UNH Professional Development & Training once again on our AI Essentials Certificate Program—a series of live, online workshops designed for people who want practical answers, not buzzwords.

What These Workshops Actually Cover

The AI Essentials program focuses on real-world use (the kind of stuff you can try next week, not theoretical frameworks you'll never touch again).

Depending on which workshops you take, you'll learn about:

• Using AI for marketing and content

• Making better decisions with data and AI tools

• Automating repetitive tasks in your workflow

• Personalizing customer or donor experiences

• Planning AI adoption that actually makes sense for your organization

• Navigating ethics and compliance (because yes, that matters)

Each session is hands-on, with time for questions and guided practice. You're learning with people, not just watching slides. The cost per workshop is $149.

Who This Is For

These workshops are for professionals who need to get up to speed on AI but don't have a deep tech background and aren't trying to become data scientists.

They're especially useful if you're:

• Running or managing a small or mid-sized business

• Leading a nonprofit or mission-driven organization

• Working in government or the public sector

• Trying to stay relevant (and valuable) in a job market that's changing fast

If your work involves strategy, operations, marketing, fundraising, or just figuring out what's next—this is for you!

Take One Workshop or Earn the Whole Certificate

You don't have to commit to the whole thing upfront. You can:

• Sign up for individual workshops based on what you need right now, or

• Complete six workshops over two years to earn the AI Essentials Certificate

No AI experience required. No pressure to move faster than makes sense for your schedule.

All workshops are live online, so you can join from wherever you are and still ask questions, work through examples, and connect with the instructor and other participants.

What's Coming Up (Winter–Spring 2026)

Here's the current schedule:

• Leveraging AI for Data-Driven Decision Making — January 14, 2026 (1–3pm)

• AI Essentials: Building a High-Impact Strategy — January 28, 2026 (1–3pm)

• AI-Driven Marketing Strategies: Boost Your Reach and Engagement — April 8, 2026 (1–3pm)

• Strategic AI Planning for Business Leaders — April 22, 2026 (9–11am)

More workshops—including sessions on AI ethics and building custom chatbots—are part of the certificate track and will show up in future schedules.

What You'll Actually Walk Away With

This isn't about collecting certificates for your wall. It's about feeling more confident and capable.

By the end of a workshop (or the full program), you should be able to:

• Spot places where AI could actually help in your day-to-day work

• Build a plan for adopting AI that fits your organization's reality

• Use AI tools to save time on marketing, analysis, or operations

• Understand the risks and ethical considerations before you run into trouble

Some workshops also come with a digital badge you can add to LinkedIn if that's your thing.

Interested?

Whether you want to dip your toe in with one workshop or go all-in on the certificate, this is a low-pressure way to start.
