Turn everyday AI use into practical tools, repeatable workflows, and real solutions for your work.

CASBO’s AI in School Business Micro-Certificate is designed for school business professionals who have already experimented with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and are ready to do more with them.

This live, hands-on program goes beyond learning better prompts. Over six weekly sessions, you’ll practice using AI for research, document and spreadsheet analysis, ongoing workspaces, custom assistants, and emerging capabilities like skills and agents. Along the way, you’ll apply what you learn directly to the work you already do.

The program culminates in a capstone project where you’ll turn a real task or workflow from your role into a reusable AI skill you can continue using and refining after the program ends.

Whether you’ve been experimenting with AI on your own or completed CASBO’s AI Leadership Essentials, this program provides the practice, structure, and expert guidance to take the next step.

What you’ll learn:

Through live demonstrations, hands-on practice, learning labs, and a real-world capstone project, you’ll learn how to:

  • Apply foundational AI and security practices in a school business environment.
  • Create effective AI workspaces for ongoing tasks and projects.
  • Use AI to research, analyze documents, and work with spreadsheet data.
  • Build custom assistants for repeatable workplace needs.
  • Explore AI skills, agents, and emerging capabilities.
  • Critically evaluate AI-generated information for quality and reliability.
  • Apply AI responsibly within organizational data privacy and technology policies.
  • Turn a real workplace task or workflow into a reusable AI skill.
