The Government AI Foundations Bootcamp gives government professionals a practical, job-focused introduction to artificial intelligence and its role in public service. You’ll learn what AI is, how it works, and how it’s already being used across government, including key topics like machine learning, language models, and ethical and legal considerations. The bootcamp also strengthens data literacy through hands-on exercises that help you use data with confidence, and builds prompt engineering skills so you can communicate with AI tools and apply them to real government tasks.
As part of the program, you can also choose one of two additional courses at no cost to expand your learning. AI Ethics for Federal Employees focuses on responsible AI use, covering ethics, risk management, and policy frameworks with practical examples for government work. AI Agents for Government Workflows explores how no code AI agents differ from traditional automation, how they support government operations, and how to design agent-driven workflows while maintaining human oversight and policy compliance.
This is the recommended order, but some courses may be taken in a different order.

Through real-world government examples and hands-on activities, participants will learn how to identify ethical challenges and apply practical solutions. The course emphasizes actionable strategies that government teams can implement immediately to build public trust and ensure compliance with evolving policies.
Bonus 4 Hours
Participants gain a practical, no-code understanding of AI agents in government and learn how to responsibly evaluate, design, and govern agent-enabled workflows. The course emphasizes informed decision-making, risk awareness, and effective oversight while preparing participants to engage confidently with technical teams and vendors.
Bonus 4 Hours
As AI use in government work becomes more common, the difference between acceptable and risky AI output often comes down to how prompts are designed—not which tool is used. This course equips professionals with the advanced prompting strategies needed to produce reliable, defensible, and high-quality AI outputs in environments where accuracy, clarity, and accountability matter.
