Warren, Ohio — Oak Hill Collaborative will present a free workshop next week to instruct residents on how to use artificial intelligence for personal and professional development.
The All About AI Workshop will be hosted by Trumbull Career and Technical Center at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 28. Guests should enter through the Adult Learning Center’s Door B of TCTC, located at 528 Educational Highway. Registration is required.
The two-hour workshop is designed to instruct participants on how to use AI to refine information and documents such as resumes, as well as showcase AI image creation tools.
The workshop will be split into two parts, allowing participants to gain hands-on experience with these tools as well as gain informational advice.
Koula Glaros-Ross, the adult education coordinator for TCTC, said the workshop was designed with the community in mind.
“Community is everything, and having opportunities that involve education in a fun, relaxed atmosphere is a great way to bring people together and make learning enjoyable,” Glaros-Ross said. “Business partnerships are important to us at TCTC, and this is an exciting opportunity to work with Oak Hill Collaborative and Lumos to offer an educational and fun class.”
Steve Kristan, director of market development at Lumos, said empowering underserved residents is key to building networks for online futures.
“Lumos’ ultra-fast and reliable internet is critical for tomorrow’s digitally dependent society and supports innovation and advancement,” Kristan said. “Our 100% fiber optic technology, coupled with education and hands-on training, such as this AI workshop from the Oak Hill Collaborative and TCTC, is life-changing for Trumbull County families and small businesses.”
Patrick Kerrigan, executive director of the Oak Hill Collaborative, said that through partnerships, workshops such as this can bridge the digital divide residents face in new ways.
“It’s always exciting to create new collaborative efforts with educational institutions and internet service providers because it allows us to explore ways to get integral resources to residents who need them most,” Kerrigan said. “This workshop proves that the adoption and use of AI can both be fun and educational, as well as a tool to connect us all. We look forward to working with TCTC and Lumos on this project and more in the future.”
