Urban League of Louisiana · Workforce AI workshop

AI that helps you get the job.

A four-hour workshop for people early in their working lives. We use AI to build a stronger resume, write a cover letter that sounds like you, prep for interviews, and get organized.

Mixed-skill room. Some of you have used ChatGPT a hundred times. Some of you have never opened it. We start at the beginning and move fast.

What AI actually is

Before we open a chatbot. A short tour of what AI is in 2026: not just LLMs. The kinds of AI you already use every day without realizing it. Then we focus on the piece that's most useful today for career work.

What AI is

Four skills, hands-on

Rewrite a resume bullet, draft a cover letter from a job posting, practice answering interview questions, and break a vague goal into a plan you can actually work from. You leave with prompts you can reuse.

What's different about this workshop

Free tools first. Every AI tool we recommend has a free tier. We show paid options but never require them.
Beyond the big four. Most AI workshops only show Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot. We also look at Grok, Kimi, Z.ai, HuggingChat, and Perplexity. Different tools handle different tasks differently.
Actually interactive. Each activity walks you through a real task in steps, with a self-check rubric at the end. Not a lecture with a lab at the end.
No tracking. This site collects no analytics, sets no cookies, and stores nothing about you. Your work saves to your browser only.

What we cover in four hours

A plain-English tour of what AI is and isn't.
The one prompt structure that works across every tool: RTCF.
Activity 1: rewrite a resume bullet, then self-check against a rubric.
Activity 2: draft a cover letter from a job posting you paste in.
Activity 3: practice answering interview questions on demand.
Activity 4: break a vague goal into a plan you can work from this week.
A tour of free AI tools beyond the well-known ones.
A 30-day plan for one new habit per week.
