Artificial Intelligence Employability Programme

FREE Employability Programme for London residents currently out of work or earning below £27,007.50 per year.

With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) predicted in every area of our society, it will inevitably transform our lives, how we go about performing daily tasks and the world of work. This exciting new employability programme offers an opportunity to gain an understanding in the foundational concepts of AI.

You will study the history of AI, ethical and sustainable AI challenges, key AI enablers and gain an understanding of the possible future of AI-human interaction, especially in the workplace.

In addition, you will also work on two Level 2 (NCFE) certificates in Cyber Security and Mental Health in the Workplace. The Cyber Security course complements the AI skills you are gaining and gives fundamental knowledge of cyber threats, legal and ethical issues and data protection. The Mental Health course gives you knowledge of the tools to support mental wellness and operational resilience in the workplace.

You will also receive careers guidance on routes into AI-related job roles.

This employability programme gives people a foundation on which to begin building a career in Artificial Intelligence. It will also help those who are not looking specifically to work in AI development, but who want to become more knowledgeable in the use of AI, to be able to apply these skills in various job roles.

All applicants will be required to attend an assessment session before being offered a place on this employability programme. The assessment will take place on Tuesday 17 March, 10am-12pm, at South Thames College, Wandsworth, SW18 2PP.
