Your teams are already using AI. The question is: are they using it strategically, responsibly, and to its full potential?

AI for Working Professionals: Going Beyond ChatGPT is a five-week, live online course from Pacific's Center for Professional & Continuing Education designed for professionals ready to move beyond casual AI experimentation and build practical, repeatable skills.

Participants will explore how generative AI works, then focus on Prompt Design—the essential skill for getting more accurate, useful, and consistent results from tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot.

Through highly interactive, instructor-led sessions, learners will gain strategies they can apply immediately to work more efficiently, communicate more effectively, and use AI with greater confidence and responsibility.

Led by Gary Martin, Ed.D., University of the Pacific emerita and an experienced educator and learning-and-development leader.
Pacific alumni, staff, faculty, and community professionals: invest in skills that will shape how we work.
