Three ways to work together
Start with your audience. Build around a useful outcome.
Open a sample scope below to see the agenda, readiness needs, and evidence of learning. These are planning examples; final hours, group size, equipment, licensing, and fees are confirmed in your written proposal.
01 / Member workshops
A valuable event for your business community
Offer an accessible introduction to AI literacy, cybersecurity, Excel or customer service. Pair a hands-on workshop with a facilitated roundtable about the challenges members face.
Participants leave with: a practical exercise, usable resource and next steps for applying the skill at work.
Sample workshop scope
Illustrative format: a 90-minute member workshop and roundtable.
- 15 minutes: introduce one business challenge and a relevant skill.
- 40 minutes: guided demonstration and practice.
- 25 minutes: member questions and facilitated discussion.
- 10 minutes: action checklist and next steps.
Readiness: basic device skills; confirm laptops, accounts, Wi-Fi, or a demonstration-based format.
Evidence: a completed exercise and short feedback summary. Agree on attendance and reporting before delivery.
Alignment: select the applicable NIST, platform, or digital-skills reference from our credential and standards guide. A short workshop does not represent full certification preparation.
02 / Business skills series
Turn learning into working business tools
Build a connected series around AI phone systems, CRM workflows, website SEO, or AI-assisted media and social campaigns. Participants develop and test projects with guidance.
Participants work toward: a defined project, such as a phone workflow, CRM prototype, search improvement plan or campaign content calendar.
Sample series scope
Illustrative format: four two-hour sessions focused on one selected business project.
- Define the workflow, audience, and responsible-use requirements.
- Build a guided prototype or draft assets.
- Test, revise, and document the work.
- Demonstrate the project and agree on an implementation plan.
Choose one focus: an AI phone workflow, CRM setup, website search improvements, AI media campaign, or Excel reporting.
Readiness: confirm software access, participant skill levels, and safe sample data. Software subscriptions and production deployment are separately scoped.
Evidence: a project rubric, attendance and completion summary, and recommendations for further training.
Alignment: selected platform standards and applicable HubSpot or Microsoft credential objectives. Any exam-preparation extension is defined separately.
03 / Workforce cohorts
Prepare people for a defined skills pathway
Plan a cohort with a workforce board, America’s Job Center, service agency or employer. Options include digital foundations, IT, cybersecurity and data center readiness.
Partners define: target roles, entry skills, assessment, applicable credential objectives and reporting needs before launch.
Sample data center cohort scope
Format: a staged cohort, with hours and pacing set after target roles, entry skills, lab access, and the credential goal are confirmed.
- Employer consultation and participant readiness assessment.
- IT and data center foundations: racks, cabling, power, cooling, monitoring, and safe operating practices.
- Guided practical tasks, ticketing, documentation, and escalation exercises.
- Skills assessment, credential preparation, and an individual next-step plan.
Partner input: target job requirements, recruitment, eligibility, facilities, and employer feedback.
Evidence: assessed lab work, attendance and completion reporting, and an agreed credential-readiness review.
Alignment: Schneider Electric DCCA, with CompTIA A+ or Server+ objectives selected for the role. The proposal confirms instructors, equipment, safety boundaries, exam arrangements, and fees; no certification or employment guarantee.

A clear division of responsibilities
A partnership your team can put into action.
Teach Me Technology
We develop the agreed curriculum, provide instruction, organize hands-on learning and prepare the assessment and reporting described in your proposal.
Your organization
You help define the audience, recruit participants, identify employer needs and coordinate registration, facilities or technology access as agreed.
Together, we confirm schedule, accessibility needs, bilingual support, equipment, licensing, fees and success measures. A workshop certificate of completion is distinct from an independently awarded industry certification.
Relevant adult education experience
Practical learning for families and communities.
Our BCSD Parent University work includes adult technology and cybersecurity learning. The 2024–25 program materials document Navigating the Digital World and Cyber Guardians—examples of technology instruction designed around everyday needs.
