AI Training for Employees and Organizations
Live, instructor-led AI workshops that teach your team how to use AI tools responsibly, make better decisions with AI, and lead AI adoption across your organization.
Sixty-seven percent of organizations say they need their employees trained on AI. Only 38% have actually done anything about it.
That gap between knowing AI training matters and actually delivering it is where most organizations are stuck right now. Employees are already using ChatGPT, Copilot, and other AI tools on their own, often without any guidance on responsible use, data privacy, or organizational policy. Meanwhile, HR directors are being asked to “figure out AI training” for entire departments, and managers are expected to oversee AI adoption without ever having been trained on AI themselves.
DWC closes that gap. We deliver live, instructor-led AI training workshops designed for non-technical employees, managers, and leadership teams. Every session focuses on practical, responsible AI use in real work environments. No coding required. No technical background needed. Just structured, applied training that helps your people use AI effectively and your organization adopt AI confidently.
AI Fundamentals for the Workplace is the fastest-growing class in our catalog. It is the starting point for most organizations rolling out AI training for the first time, and it pairs with our AI Leadership curriculum for managers and senior leaders who need to govern AI adoption, not just understand it.
Why AI Training Cannot Wait
The organizations that train now are building a competitive advantage. The ones that delay are falling behind.
AI adoption is accelerating faster than most organizations can keep up with. The data from 2025 and 2026 paints a clear picture:
91% of employees say their company uses at least one AI tool (McKinsey, 2025). Your people are already interacting with AI at work, whether you have trained them or not.
Only 38% of companies offer AI-related training to their workers, even though most leaders say training is important (ProfileTree). The gap between stated priority and actual investment is one of the biggest workforce risks in 2026.
77% of employers plan to reskill workers for AI between 2025 and 2030 (World Economic Forum). The question is no longer whether to provide AI training but how quickly.
Workers with AI skills earn up to 56% more than peers in the same roles without those skills (PwC, 2025). AI proficiency is becoming a wage differentiator, and employees know it.
70% of organizations struggle to teach their workers the AI skills they need, and 62% of leaders see a clear AI literacy gap in their workforce (Microsoft Viva). Structured, instructor-led AI training closes that gap faster than self-paced tools that employees rarely finish.
When employers provide AI training, adoption jumps to 76% compared to just 25% without support (Bright Horizons/Harris Poll). Training does not just build skills. It drives adoption.
The organizations acting on AI training now, not next quarter, not next year, are the ones building teams that can use AI productively, responsibly, and in alignment with organizational goals.
AI Training for Employees and Leaders
Every organization needs both. The skills are different. The workshops are designed accordingly.
DWC organizes AI training into two tracks because the skills employees need and the skills leaders need are fundamentally different. Employees need to use AI tools effectively. Leaders need to govern AI adoption responsibly. Both tracks are live, instructor-led, and designed for non-technical professionals.

Healthcare, Financial Services, and Regulated Industries
Healthcare, Financial Services, and Regulated Industries where AI use carries heightened compliance, privacy, and accountability requirements. DWC’s AI training addresses these concerns directly through workshops on governance, ethics, risk management, and the NIST framework.
How Organizations Use DWC AI Training
Real engagements across government, healthcare, and private employers.
Colorado State Agency: AI Readiness for 60 Employees and 15 Department Directors A Colorado state agency enrolled 60 employees from six departments in AI Fundamentals for the Workplace, followed by AI Leadership training for 15 department directors and division managers. The program established a shared AI vocabulary across the organization, set expectations for responsible use, and gave the agency a framework for evaluating AI tools before adoption.
Utah County Government: AI Fundamentals and Prompt Engineering A Utah county government enrolled 40 employees in AI Fundamentals for the Workplace, followed by AI Prompt Engineering for the Workplace for a smaller group of 15 employees whose roles involved data analysis and public communications. The county needed employees to understand both the potential and the limitations of AI tools before the organization adopted any new technology.
Financial Services Firm: AI Training and Governance for Compliance A regional financial services company requested AI Prompt Engineering for the Workplace for 35 analysts and customer service representatives, followed by Responsible AI Governance and Oversight for Managers for their compliance and risk management team. The firm was preparing to deploy AI-powered tools across its operations and needed assurance that all employees understood both the capabilities and the boundaries of the technology.
Healthcare System: AI Leadership and Risk Management A hospital system enrolled its administrative and IT leadership team in AI for Leadership and Management, followed by AI Risk Management Leadership Using the NIST Framework. The program helped hospital leaders evaluate AI vendor proposals, assess data privacy risks, and develop an internal policy for AI use across clinical and administrative functions.
Manufacturing Company: AI Fundamentals for Production Teams A manufacturing employer enrolled 50 production supervisors and operations managers in AI Fundamentals for the Workplace. The company was introducing AI-assisted quality control and predictive maintenance tools and needed its workforce to understand how the technology works, what it can and cannot do, and how to interpret its outputs before it was deployed on the production floor.
The Business Case for AI Training
The financial and operational case for AI training is clear and growing stronger every year.
AI skills are becoming a wage differentiator. Workers with AI skills earn up to 56% more than peers in the same roles without those skills (PwC). When your employees develop AI fluency, they become more valuable to your organization and less likely to leave for competitors who offer those learning opportunities.
Training drives adoption. When employers provide structured AI training, adoption jumps to 76% compared to just 25% without training support. Buying AI tools without training your people on how to use them is the most common and most expensive mistake organizations make.
The reskilling window is narrowing. 85% of employers plan to prioritize reskilling their workforce (World Economic Forum, 2025). 48% of companies plan to increase their AI training budgets by more than 25%. The organizations investing in AI training now are building capabilities that will compound. The ones waiting are building a gap that gets harder to close every quarter.
Untrained AI use carries real risk. Employees using AI without guidance create data privacy exposure, inaccurate outputs, policy violations, and reputational risk. Structured AI training reduces these risks by establishing clear expectations for responsible use.
