AI Academy

AI is changing how businesses operate, and practical AI skills are now essential. Our AI Academy offers hands-on training tailored to your workflow and designed specifically around your role. Every assignment, prompt, and task is bespoke, giving you skills that apply directly to your day-to-day work. This is practical learning designed to deliver immediate results. Built on the proven PAIR AI Academy platform, we’re bringing the same AI training trusted by government bodies and major enterprises directly to your doorstep.

During NI Apprenticeship Week, hear from former apprentices now in senior leadership roles as they share their career journeys and outline the impact apprenticeships have had on their organisations. Richard Kirk, CEO of Workplus, will present new research on the return on investment for businesses that employ apprentices. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the business benefits of apprenticeships and why more employers should adopt this talent pipeline.

Our sectoral roundtable offers an exclusive forum for forward-thinking business leaders. The event will bring together industry executives for strategic discussions, frank conversations, peer learning, and meaningful connections. This event is by invitation.

In partnership with Bank of Ireland, this morning gathering will bring together People Leaders from diverse organisations to share practical strategies and industry tips. You’ll have the opportunity to exchange ideas across industries, build valuable connections and participate in an engaging Q&A session with our speakers: Louise Maguire, Founder, Louise Maguire Coaching Sarah Milliken, Head of Talent and Culture, Aflac Northern Ireland Keith Smith, Chief People Officer, Mallaghan Engineering Anne Brace, Head of HR, Avondale Foods • • • •
