Webinar Objective

This webinar presents practical and transferable approaches to AI upskilling based on higher education experience, complemented by workforce-oriented learning formats.

The session focuses on how AI education can be designed to:

  • build confidence and judgement,
  • enable progression from broad AI literacy to applied skills
  • support responsible and safe AI use,

Rather than promoting specific tools or programmes, the webinar highlights training methodologies, learning formats and upskilling pathways (from AI literacy to complex solutions) that proved effective in real educational and training contexts.
