🤖 AI Is No Longer a Future Workplace Skill
The way we work is changing — quickly.
Recent Datacom research shows just how rapidly AI adoption has grown among New Zealand organisations surveyed:
2023: 48%
2024: 66%
2025: 87%
2026: 91%
And in 2026, 66% of organisations surveyed provided AI skills training in the past year.
The message is becoming clear: knowing about AI is no longer enough. The real opportunity is learning how to use AI practically, responsibly and confidently at work.
That’s why I created the:
🎓 Certificate in AI Workplace Productivity
A 6-week live and practical programme where I’ll show you step-by-step how to use ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot for real workplace tasks — including professional communication, Word documents, Excel and data, presentations, research, organisation, content creation and everyday productivity.
This is not an AI theory course.
My approach is simple:
You guide the AI → AI assists you → You make the final decision.
Whether you’re an employee wanting to work smarter, a job seeker building future-ready skills, a manager, or a business owner, this course is designed to help you move beyond simply experimenting with AI and start using it with purpose in the workplace.

AI will continue to change. The question is: are your workplace skills changing with it?
