Empowering Business Professionals: AI Practical Skills Camp by Aoba-BBT

On August 3, 2026, Aoba-BBT will launch an innovative AI Practical Skills Camp, specially tailored for business individuals aiming to leverage AI effectively in their daily work. This intensive, hands-on program spans seven sessions and will be led by Tomohiro Ikeda from Workstyle Evolution, who is also the mastermind behind the popular YouTube channel 'Iketomo ch', which boasts over 200,000 subscribers.

Background of the Program

As generative AI becomes more prevalent, businesses are still struggling with its implementation, often reporting inefficiencies when integrating AI into their workflows. Many organizations have adopted AI, but many still face issues such as inconsistent usage among team members, which hampers overall productivity. At Aoba-BBT, they recognize the gap between understanding AI's basic functionalities and being able to apply it effectively in a practical context. Thus, this program has been crafted combining over two decades of expertise in educational services and the practical experiences of Workstyle Evolution in AI implementation.
