NEW LONDON — Small and midsize employers can help Mitchell College design a workplace AI training program at a free breakfast forum Thursday, November 12. The college and the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut are hosting the session from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Red Barn, 629-A Montauk Ave.

The chamber says the morning will start with breakfast and check-in at 8 a.m. Facilitators will walk through examples of how businesses use AI in day-to-day work, then ask employers to assess what their teams are ready to take on and what training they need. The college says it will use that feedback to shape an eight-week, noncredit certificate pilot planned for spring 2027.

Advance registration is required. Sign up through the chamber at https://info.chamberect.com/ap/Events/Register/XqF0dWXt7CDCz
