Department for Work and Pensions: Artificial Intelligence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what training his Department provides on AI; and (a) how many hours and (b) what topics and skills are covered by such training.
Answered by Andrew Western
We offer self-serve training and guidance for Copilot via a hub. The hub offers;
- guidance pages,
- crash course videos
- and, bitesize sessions
which are all aimed at giving an overview of how Copilot Chat can be used and includes
- turning transcripts into actions,
- simplify Excel,
- drafting emails,
- learning and development,
- effective prompting
- and, how to understand what Copilot can do for you.
As it is self-serve training, we do not have tracked hours for this learning.
The department delivered our One Big Thing AI learning initiative from Cabinet Office. Please see the below table for the hours and topics that were covered.
