Organization-Wide AI Capability Training

BACKGROUND

The client is one of the largest charter school operators in the country, serving more than 100,000 students across a network of more than 10,000 employees. The workforce spans classroom educators, school-level administrators, and the full functional enterprise: HR, finance, technology, and executive leadership. That breadth created a design problem with no single-track solution. Different populations required different content, different delivery, and different definitions of what AI capability would look like in their role. Each segment needed a purpose-built solution calibrated to how they actually work. Like any large school network, the client hires continuously, so whatever capability the organization built had to hold up through constant workforce growth.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The operator’s leadership recognized early that AI represented a real operational shift. The goal was to build real capability across the entire organization at the same time, from the C-suite down to frontline educators. The challenge was execution: deploying capability simultaneously across a highly distributed, multi-segment workforce with no existing AI baseline, in a way the organization could sustain without permanent outside support. That requirement extended to employees who had not been hired yet. In a network this size, onboarding is a permanent motion, and any capability program that ignored it would begin eroding the day it ended. If training infrastructure could be created to train the existing workforce and all future hires, then they could maintain the efficiency that their leaders envisioned would arise from AI literacy.

Ajaia structured the engagement across five connected workstreams, designed to build capability at every level simultaneously:

THE SOLUTION

A five-workstream program that built AI capability at every level of the network at the same time.
