Artificial Intelligence (AI) workshop
NFACT is proud to be offering free, beginner-friendly AI workshops - Everyday AI for Work and Life - created for refugees, migrants, Māori, and Pacific communities as well as staff and trustees of the not-for-profit sector across New Zealand.
The workshop is delivered by culturally appropriate facilitators, and uses learning materials that are inclusive, practical, and easy to follow. It focuses on real-world skills that can support employment, learning, and daily tasks. For more information, please read these FAQs.

Workshop Modules
In this five-module workshop, participants build the essential skills needed to use AI with confidence.
For some groups, we will offer Module 0 - which covers foundational digital skills and online safety - ensuring participants can engage confidently and securely in digital spaces. This is an optional module for groups needing extra support with the tools.
Starting with the basics, participants will explore powerful productivity tools, learn how to communicate effectively with AI through prompts, understand responsible AI practices, and discover how to stay up-to-date in a rapidly evolving field.

Module 1: AI Basics & NZ Relevance
Module 2: AI for Workplace Productivity
Module 3: Prompt Engineering & Communication
Module 4: AI & Cultural Safety
Module 5: Future-Proofing & Job Action
Module Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, you will learn the different types of AI, what the difference is between traditional AI and generative AI, the different tool to improve specific tasks in daily life (research, writing, summarising), how to master prompts for effective output, the bias and ethics of AI, and continuous learning in AI in specific tasks relevant to you.
