THE PROGRAM
One pathway, from AI-curious to AI Integration Specialist.
The AI Integration Specialist is built as a complete educational pathway, not a one-off course. It starts with a shared AI-literacy baseline for any employee, builds hands-on capability through role- and industry-specific tracks, and culminates in a federally Registered Apprenticeship — among the first in the nation for an AI integration occupation.
It's the educational infrastructure of the apprenticeship: every tier maps to the U.S. Department of Labor's AI literacy content areas, and the whole pathway is taught inside your industry's real workflows from the first hour. First registered in healthcare, with potential to extend to manufacturing, agriculture, and more.

Why This Is Different
Why This Is Different
Built for the worker who can't step away to learn.
Traditional programs ask people to pause their careers and learn AI in the abstract. This one is built the opposite way.
Credential
Credentials without exit
A nationally recognized credential earned on the job — no one has to leave the workforce to get it.
Healthcare-native
Context from the first hour
Taught inside your industry's real workflows and rules — not generic AI bolted on to your work afterward.
Industry-built
Employer-authored standard
Built on 127 competencies validated by the employers who feel the shortage — not by a training provider guessing at demand.
Speed
Moves at the pace of the work
The curriculum pivots in months, not multi-year catalog cycles — keeping pace with how fast AI changes.
Also For
Not employer-sponsored? Career changers and individuals can pursue the same curriculum self-paced, with articulation pathways into the apprenticeship. See the Career Changers track →

02
What's the difference between the three tiers?
Tier 1 (Foundational) sets a shared AI-literacy baseline for any employee, any level. Tier 2 (Applied) is hands-on capability-building for builders, role-specific learners, and leaders, across three tracks: AI Builder, AI for My Role, and AI Leader. Tier 3 (the Apprenticeship) is the full DOL Registered Apprenticeship for employer-sponsored apprentices, combining Related Technical Instruction with 2,000 hours of on-the-job learning to earn the AI Integration Specialist credential.
03
How much time does each tier take?
Tier 1 runs 12–20 hours. Tier 2 runs 64–124 hours depending on the track (AI Builder: 68–76 hrs, AI for My Role: 98–106 hrs, AI Leader: 84–124 hrs). Tier 3 is 145–185 hours of instruction plus 2,000 hours of paid on-the-job learning over a one- to two-year term.
