Build practical AI literacy, digital confidence and career-ready skills in one intensive student workshop in Cardiff on 19 August 2026.
Euro Edge Academy’s AI Readiness & Future Skills for Students® programme explores how artificial intelligence is changing education, employment and entrepreneurship. Taking place at Regus on Tyndall Street, this eight-hour, English-language workshop combines essential AI knowledge with the human skills students need to navigate an increasingly digital world.
What students will learn
The programme begins by examining the changing world of work, emerging career opportunities and the importance of developing a growth mindset. Students will then explore:
The fundamentals of artificial intelligence, machine learning and generative AI
Everyday uses of AI, including its capabilities and limitations
How to use AI tools effectively, ethically and responsibly
Digital citizenship, online safety and cybersecurity basics
Data privacy, digital footprints, misinformation and bias
Critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity and innovation
Communication, presentations, leadership and teamwork
Productivity, time management and confident decision-making
The workshop also connects these skills to practical next steps. Participants will work on building a professional résumé and online profile, preparing for internships and employment, and creating a personal growth and career development plan.
A practical, student-focused format
This is not designed as a purely theoretical introduction. Facilitator-led discussions are supported by real-world examples, case studies, team activities, role-playing exercises, practical assignments, self-assessments and guided reflection. These varied activities give students opportunities to apply ideas during the day and identify changes they can take back to their studies and career planning.…

Red Hat Summit: Connect Santiago 2026 explores how enterprises can adopt AI while retaining control of their data, infrastructure and technology strategy. Taking place on 27 October 2026 at Hotel Mandarin in Santiago, this Red Hat conference is designed for technology leaders and enterprise IT professionals working through the practical complexities of artificial intelligence adoption. It will be particularly relevant to teams operating at scale or within regulated industries, where governance, security and control cannot be treated as afterthoughts. What to expect The programme examines enterprise AI through an open-source lens, focusing on how organisations can pursue innovation without surrendering control of their underlying systems. The published themes include: - Data sovereignty and the enterprise AI challenge, considering the relationship between AI strategy, organisational data and infrastructure control. - Industry-specific applications, exploring AI in the context of real operational requirements rather than as a one-size-fits-all technology. - The open-source approach to enterprise AI, looking at how open technologies can support enterprise adoption and long-term flexibility. This is more than a high-level strategy conference. According to Red Hat, Summit: Connect offers access to technology experts alongside hands-on learning opportunities with Red Hat solutions. Attendees will also have options to meet Red Hat partners and exchange ideas with peers facing similar implementation questions. Who should attend? The event is aimed at technology decision-makers, enterprise architects, infrastructure and platform teams, cybersecurity professionals, and IT leaders responsible for introducing AI into complex organisations. It should also be useful for practitioners assessing how data sovereignty and industry constraints affect architecture choices. View the event and registration details
