Informed by pilot programs, the curriculum reflects common operational needs and helps teams quickly apply AI in ways that drive impact.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cGeneration programs support participants to practice and master the skills that make the biggest difference to them in their day-to-day work,\u201d said Bonni Theriault, Chief Partnerships Officer at Generation. \u201cWe are delighted to partner with American Express to offer small business owners a chance to hone their AI skills and see real benefits in their work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe program offers three training tracks tailored to different roles and levels of AI familiarity:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>AI Generalist<\/b>: A foundational primer plus targeted \u201cMini Missions\u201d to apply AI across everyday tasks, with modules designed for seamless workflow integration.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Digital Marketing<\/b>: Applies AI to content creation, campaign optimization, and insight generation to support efficiency and impact.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Digital Customer Success<\/b>: Uses AI to streamline customer interactions, resolve inquiries faster, and deliver more personalized experiences.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nAcross all training, the flexible, self-guided curriculum helps participants to use AI to work more efficiently. Topics include drafting customer communications, supporting marketing content and campaigns, streamlining daily tasks like summaries and organization, and turning research into insights, all while applying human judgment to review and refine outputs.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOne of the biggest program takeaways for me was realizing how powerful AI can be when used the right way, because it allowed me to do things that typically require a full team,\u201d said Katy Kinch, Owner of Buttermilk Bakeshop. \u201cI was able to analyze customer feedback, identify trends, and track retention patterns from my living room, which gave me insights I wouldn\u2019t normally have access to as a small business owner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Expanding Access Through the Smart Futures for Small Business Scholarship<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>To complement the training program, the American Express Foundation is also supporting Scholarship America to offer Smart Futures for Small Business Scholarships providing up to $1,000 for eligible U.S. small business employees who plan to pursue courses or certificate programs in AI.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;AI tools give small businesses a world of opportunity, and education and training ensure that their workforce is ready to meet the moment,&#8221; said Mike Nylund, President &amp; CEO at Scholarship America. &#8220;We are proud to work with American Express to deliver scholarships to small business employees who are working to evolve their careers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nSmall business employers can nominate a member of their teams to apply for a scholarship and build new skills in AI that can have a ripple effect on both the business and employee\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n<p><b>How to Participate<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Generation\u2019s AI Upskilling for Small Business program offers multiple dates throughout the year.
