Accelerate Your Career
Tech Skills and Careers
Build faster with AI — whether you’re launching a career, leveling up your skills, or transforming your organization
AI is changing how products get built, how teams work, and what employers expect. Our hands-on training programs meet you where you are — from writing your first prompt to deploying production applications — and move you forward fast. Every program is built on 10+ years of training builders in Missouri, now fully reimagined for the AI era.
AI Skills Training
From concept to production — learn to build with AI
Whether you’re validating a startup idea, leveling up your dev skills, or bringing AI into your daily workflow, our AI Skills programs give you a clear, structured path from learning to shipping. All programs are available live (synchronous with weekly sessions) and on-demand. Plan for 4–8 hours per week depending on the track.
Prompt to Product
Have an idea? Learn to build it.
A 6-week, AI-native training for builders. No coding experience required. Learn to bring your startup idea to a working product — think like a founder and product engineer, even if you’ve never written code.
Outcome: Working application ready to demo
AI Masterclass
Already a developer? Go faster.
Spin up IDE and CLI coding agents, master context engineering, write executable specs, and build custom commands and MCPs. Hook it all into Jira, GitHub, or Linear with practical labs and clear patterns.
Outcome: Real projects built with AI-assisted methods
AI For Business Pros
Want to put AI to work? Start here.
Learn to work smarter with AI tools you can use tomorrow. Customized training for teams and individuals who want real ROI from AI — not hype, but practical workflows and tools for your role.
Outcome: Custom AI workflows and tools for your role

Builders Lab
Your team doesn’t need another AI presentation — they need to build something
Builders Lab is a structured AI transformation program for organizations ready to move beyond awareness and into action. It takes your team from first experiments with AI tools, through a collaborative Vibeathon, to shipping real internal products and solutions. The program scales based on your group’s needs — from small leadership teams to multi-department rollouts — and works for companies, universities, economic development organizations, and communities.
Three Stages
1
Awareness
Ground your team in what AI can actually do today. Practical demonstrations, hands-on exercises, and a shared vocabulary for what’s possible — so your organization can make informed decisions about where to invest.
2
Vibeathon
A collaborative building event where participants use vibe coding and AI tools to create working prototypes in a short timeframe. It’s the centerpiece of Builders Lab — a way to energize teams and demonstrate what’s possible with AI-assisted development.
3
Development Pathways
Turn Vibeathon prototypes into production tools. Structured pathways guide teams from proof-of-concept to deployed solutions — custom AI agents, workflow automation, GPTs, and internal tools built using AI-native methods.
Builders Lab works for organizations of all types: companies looking to adopt AI across departments, universities building innovation capacity, economic development organizations serving their communities, and municipal teams modernizing operations.
Professional Development
Grow your leadership, communication, and career readiness
Elevate your career with training focused on leadership, workplace culture, communication, and team dynamics. Our programs are built to help you grow personally and professionally, giving you the tools to lead, collaborate, and thrive in any work environment.
