AI has taken the world by storm, but mainstream AI models out-of-the-box are biased and lack the contextual awareness to successfully serve the needs of adult ESOL learners, especially in career education and workplace training, where context is paramount. This workshop aims to empower educators with foundational AI literacy and best practices, starting with a beginner-friendly introduction to AI concepts and moving into advanced topics like Retrieval Augmented Generation. Participants will gain hands-on experience with AI and workshop AI use cases to support adult ESOL learners in career education learning contexts. Please bring your laptop if you wish to participate!
