What you'll learn

Build a C-Suite Business Case

Unlock Upskilling Grants & Tax Credits

Identify workforce development grants and tax-advantaged credits to cover a majority of AI training costs.

Eliminate Budget & Adoption Friction

Turn AI enablement into a zero-risk decision for leadership while replacing passive video courses with real capability.

Why this topic matters

All of us are feeling the pressure to deploy AI, but training budgets often remain frozen. When you show leadership how they can fund AI upskilling and reskilling through various grants + federal and state tax credits, enrolling yourself or your team becomes a zero-risk business decision. We'll show you the process and provide the resources to encourage AI adoption and close the skills gap.

AI Literacy & Adoption Advocate / Facilitator / Speaker

I am the CEO and Principal Learning Architect at The Bradbury Group. Two years ago I saw how huge AI was going to be for the L&D industry. I dove in deep to figure out responsible AI adoption for our field. Since then I've helped design courses using AI for Fortune 500 companies and started consulting with executives and running cohorts focused on AI Literacy & Fluency for professionals.

Our course designs are fully aligned with the Department of Labor's AI Literacy Framework. We focus on the skills that can be integrated into real work and tracking that performance. This approach has led The Bradbury Group to see adoption rates 3x higher than feature-led training.

If you are looking for a way to fund your AI journey without the overwhelm, I invite you to join me for this Lightning Lesson or one of our other upcoming offerings.
