AI Literacy and Fluency
for University Career Centers
"We enjoyed your presentation and the valuable insights and information you shared with us! Let's keep in touch!"
— University of Pittsburgh Career Center
Our Academic Innovation team delivered specialized workshops for the University of Pittsburgh Career Center and University of Southern California Career Center focused on AI literacy for career advising.
Led by our Associate Director of Academic Innovation, Yi Yin, this session combined technical insights about Large Language Models (LLMs) with practical tools for resume advising, job market analysis, and future-facing career guidance.
"Customer-facing communication is the next data science skill. It's time we helped students reframe it as a respected, high-impact career path."

Prompting as a Skillset
- How to anchor prompts using strong domain-specific examples
