As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the world of work, the need for practical, ethical, and empowering AI training has never been greater. That’s why the IEP, in collaboration with EarlyBird AI, is proud to launch the refreshed IEP Award in AI for Employability 3.0 – a cutting-edge program designed specifically for employability professionals starting this August!
Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to the field, the updated AI Award offers the tools, confidence, and insights needed to harness AI in real-world employability settings – all in just one day.
About the Course
The Award AI 3.0 has been completely reimagined to reflect the latest developments in AI, ethical best practice, and UK legislation. Built in partnership with EarlyBird AI, a leading innovator in AI for employability, the course integrates hands-on tools and real-life scenarios to ensure learning is relevant, practical, and immediately applicable.
Updated E-Learning Modules
The program includes three redesigned e-learning modules:
- Module 1: Introduction to AI – Understand AI fundamentals, prompt engineering, and practical tools like ATS.
- Module 2: Ethical Considerations in AI – Navigate legal frameworks, mitigate bias, and explore ethical decision-making.
- Module 3: AI and the Evolving Journey to Work – Apply AI to CV critique, interview prep, and job search tools like LinkedIn.
Interactive Online Delivery
Each module is supported by a live virtual classroom, featuring:
- Scenario-based learning
- Collaborative exercises and prompt refinement
- Live demonstrations of AI tools in action
Streamlined Assessment
The new one-day delivery format culminates in a learning test, allowing learners to consolidate and certify their understanding by the end of the day. Learners can get their certificate and start implementing new AI tools straight away.
