AI is changing how every organization works — but tools alone don’t create results. Your people do. BizTech Ally’s Micro AI Certifications give your team practical, job-ready AI skills through short, hands-on credentials they can earn quickly and use the very next day.

Our program is built for real workplaces, not computer science classrooms. Every certification is taught in plain language, focused on getting actual work done, and ends with a skill your team can put to use immediately. And as a workforce program of The Philly Made Us Foundation — a nonprofit — we’re committed to making these skills accessible to small businesses, nonprofits, and the communities they serve, nationwide.

Why AI skills matter for your team

Do more with the team you have.

Trained staff use AI to save hours every week on routine work.

Reduce risk.

People who understand AI know what’s safe to use, what to double-check, and what never to share.

Boost confidence and retention.

Investing in your people’s skills shows you’re investing in their future.

Stay competitive.

The organizations pulling ahead aren’t the ones with the most tools — they’re the ones whose people know how to use them.
