AI Skills Training Program

FLO Chennai, in collaboration with Samskriya Foundation and sponsored by Saint-Gobain’s Women’s Skilling Project, successfully organised a 3-day AI Skills Training Program at Quaid-e-Millath Government College for Women. Led by Ms. Sandhya Jaichandren, Vertical Head of IMPACT – Literacy at FLO Chennai, and supported by Ms. Jyothi Thomas, Vertical Head of IMPACT – Rural Entrepreneurship & Livelihoods at FLO Chennai, was designed to equip over 230 final-year students with essential skills in Generative AI.

The training sessions were held on September 23rd, 25th, and 27th at the college auditorium, running from 11:30 AM to 01:30 PM each day. The students learned how to harness the power of Generative AI to enhance their productivity and capabilities across various domains. The curriculum was tailored to introduce AI concepts and demonstrate how this advanced technology can be applied in real-world scenarios, even by those with no prior technical background.

The program was enthusiastically received by the students, who embraced the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge technology that is reshaping industries. This initiative aligns with FLO Chennai’s mission to empower young women through education and skill development, ensuring they are well-prepared to succeed in tech-driven environments.

The AI Skills Training Program was part of Saint-Gobain’s broader commitment to fostering women’s skills and ensuring they have access to learning opportunities that promote sustainable careers. By the end of the program, the students had gained theoretical knowledge and practical insights into how AI can be leveraged to improve productivity, creativity, and innovation.

This impactful initiative underscores the dedication of FLO Chennai and its leaders, Ms. Sandhya Jaichandren and Ms. Jyothi Thomas, in driving forward meaningful change in women’s education and livelihoods, ensuring a brighter and more tech-savvy future for the next generation of women professionals.
