TROY, Mich., November 3, 2026 — Automation Alley is partnering with Station 52 to give its members discounted access to practical artificial intelligence (AI) training. The first two courses are now listed on Automation Alley’s event calendar, with additional sessions planned.
The partnership connects Automation Alley members with training delivered in partnership with Station 52 delivered through Educate 360. Members receive 20% off every session. The courses are designed to help people move beyond experimenting with AI and build skills they can use in everyday business tasks.
“AI is changing how businesses operate, and the pace of change can make it difficult to know where to start. This partnership gives our members access to practical training that can help them use AI more confidently and effectively in their work,” said Tom Kelly, executive director and CEO of Automation Alley. “Building these skills is an important part of helping Michigan businesses stay competitive as AI continues to evolve.”
“AI training is most valuable when people can apply what they learn to the work they do every day,” said Damien Rocchi, Co-Founder & President, at Station 52. “These courses give participants hands-on ways to work with AI, improve their results and use these tools responsibly. We’re pleased to partner with Automation Alley to make this training more accessible to its members.”
The first two courses address complementary skills:
- Claude Essentials: Get Hours Back Every Week with AI — December 10, 2026. This beginner-friendly session introduces AI and Claude, then guides participants through writing and refining prompts, using Claude for everyday work, and applying AI responsibly.
- Prompting That Works in Any AI Tool — December 17, 2026. This hands-on, vendor-neutral course covers effective prompting, routine task automation and responsible AI use through workplace scenarios. No coding or prior AI experience is required.
AI capabilities and tools continue to develop quickly, and organizations are weighing how to use them productively and responsibly. These courses give members a practical starting point: improving the instructions they give AI, evaluating its outputs and applying what they learn to real work. Additional courses will be added to Automation Alley’s event calendar as the series develops.
Registration are available through the individual event listings at automationalley.com/events.
