What Program Participants Are Saying

The AI-Powered Workplace course provided timely, relevant knowledge on productivity, innovation, and responsible AI use. It made complex topics more accessible through real-world examples and business use cases, helping me to reshape my understanding of tech and strategy. The course has invigorated and shifted how I approach business today and tomorrow.”

Director of Professional Services Strategic Innovation, Tyler Technologies

The AI-Powered Workplace course was just what I was looking for. As I heard those around me talk about the benefits of AI, I wanted to lead from the front and understand the practical application in real-time. The course was engaging, and immediately useful. My teammates and family hear me rave about the benefits of this course every day. It gave me the confidence to begin using AI tools regularly and showed me how AI can improve efficiency, productivity, and the quality of my work and the teams I lead.”

The Maine Center’s AI course gave me the tools and confidence to dive deeper into AI. Ryan’s real-world expertise and cutting-edge insights made the learning experience incredibly valuable. I’ve already shared the upcoming AI Series with my team—we’re all in.”

– Matt Prindiville

Former CEO, CLYNK

It has been plain to see how vital AI is becoming to workflow efficiency. The AI Essentials webinar on Google Gemini was a great way to dip my toes in the water, so to speak, about what AI can do to free up time and energy in order to focus on the bigger goals/projects. There are so many ways that AI can help deliver and visualize information, this course probably needs to be a series in and of itself!

– Jake Puente

Administrative Specialist, University of Maine

What began as curiosity and a bit of skepticism turned into one of the most practical learning experiences I’ve had in years. The AI-Powered Workplace course showed me how thoughtful, responsible use of AI can enhance the way we lead, learn, and make decisions. I learned how AI can assist in making informed, efficient decisions and improve outcomes for the people we serve.”
