Funded AI and Automation Champions

Up to 100% Funding to Build Practical AI Capability in Your Business

Recently on BBC Radio Derby, James Davison, Director at Nine Dots, spoke about how most businesses are now realising the potential in AI, and why it’s vital that organisations develop structure, capability and governance around the technology rather than simply adding more noise and tools.

The hard part is knowing where to start, what is genuinely useful, and how to approach AI rollout in a way that is safe, practical and right for the business.

That is exactly the issue Nine Dots’ funded AI & Automation Champion programme is designed to solve.

The programme is ideal for existing employees with a keen interest in AI whose organisations:

  • want to introduce AI tools but lack in-house confidence
  • need practical support to improve workflows and efficiency
  • want to reduce manual workload and save time
  • want AI use to be responsible, secure and well governed

Employees on this programme will develop practical capability in areas such as:

  • Using AI tools in the workplace
  • prompting and AI-assisted working
  • workflow design and automation
  • process improvement
  • stakeholder enablement and change
  • privacy, security and compliance
  • performance monitoring and optimisation

This Level 4 programme is valued at £18,000 and can be funded up to 100% for eligible SMEs, including for multiple staff members. It is delivered by expert trainers through live half-day workshops and workplace learning.

If your business is exploring AI but wants to do it in a way that is sensible, valuable and properly controlled, this is a strong way to build internal capability rather than rely on guesswork.

Cohort sizes for this funded programme are intentionally limited to maintain quality and impact, and demand is high, so early conversations are recommended.
