Ignite Small Business Series: AI Certification Series - Make-up Class (Session 1)

The Metrocrest Area Chamber is partnering with Dallas College to launch a new AI Certification Program designed specifically for small business leaders, teams, and operators.

Artificial intelligence is transforming how businesses operate, but many leaders are still asking the same questions:

• Where do we start?
• What tools actually work?
• How do we use AI safely?

This program provides clear, practical answers through a structured, hands on learning experience.

What You Will Learn

• AI fundamentals explained in plain language
• Real world small business use cases
• Live demonstrations of tools and workflows
• Risk management, data security, and guardrails
• Practical implementation steps you can apply immediately

About the Program

This session kicks off a 6 part executive Lunch and Learn series focused on real business outcomes, including workflow automation, prompt development, data security, and scaling AI across your organization.

Each session is designed to deliver immediate value with hands on application, not just theory.

Who Should Attend

• Small business owners
• Operations and admin leaders
• Marketing professionals
• Chamber members looking to stay competitive

No technical background required.
