Putting It Together: Your AI-Ready Week
Apply everything you've learned to one real week of your own work and earn your AI-Ready Employee certificate.
What you’ll walk away with
- Complete a capstone challenge that applies AI safely and effectively across one real week of your own job tasks
- Demonstrate practical judgment about when and how to use AI tools on real work, not simulated exercises
- Reflect on your capstone week to identify what worked, what didn't, and where to keep improving
- Earn the AI-Ready Employee certificate as proof of applied, safe AI competency
- Build a habit of ongoing reflection and improvement to keep applying AI skills after the course ends
Where this leads
AI Foundations
You understand what AI is, how it works, and how to put it to work — without the hype or the myths.
Questions people ask before they start
What exactly do I have to do to complete this course?
You'll work through the Capstone Challenge: apply what you've learned across one real week of your own work, then complete the Reflect, Certify, and Keep Going lesson to review that week and receive your certificate.
Is this course a review of new AI tools or techniques?
No. This course has no new technical lessons — it's a two-part capstone module where you put the rest of the track into practice on your actual job and then reflect on the results.
Do I need to finish other AI University courses first?
Yes. This is described as 'the finish line,' meaning it's designed to come after the rest of the track so you have the safety and practical skills needed to complete a real week of applied work.
What does 'safely and effectively' mean in this context?
It means using AI on real tasks in a way that reflects the safety practices taught earlier in the track, not just getting AI to produce output — the capstone is judged on both effectiveness and safe use.
What do I get at the end?
After completing the Capstone Challenge and the Reflect, Certify, and Keep Going lesson, you earn the AI-Ready Employee certificate.
Is the capstone based on a hypothetical scenario or my actual job?
It's based on a real week of your own work — you apply the course material directly to tasks you're already doing, not a simulated case study.
