HANDS-ON CLAUDE ENTERPRISE ENABLEMENT

Claude Applied Lab

Practical AI Proficiency for Working Teams

What It Is

The Claude Applied Lab is a four-hour, in-person experiential program that builds practical, role-relevant proficiency with Claude Enterprise. Participants leave as confident individual users — not just aware of AI, but capable of applying it to the work they actually do.

The Applied Lab is not a lecture. Participants spend the majority of their time working directly with Claude on realistic scenarios drawn from their own work environment, guided by two experienced instructors at a 1:10 ratio. Materials remain available after the session for continued practice and independent learning.

Who It's For

The Applied Lab is designed for staff across functions and at mixed experience levels. Most participants are not current power users of Claude Enterprise; the program meets them where they are and builds from there.

Sessions are delivered to cohorts of approximately 20 participants, allowing content, examples, and exercises to be calibrated to each group's function and priorities.

How It Works

Each Applied Lab runs approximately four hours and is structured across three sessions:

SESSION	DURATION	PURPOSE
Introduction	60 minutes	Foundation for all participants; fixed for every cohort
Lab Part 1: Foundations	90 minutes	Core Claude skills; customized per cohort
Lab Part 2: Advanced Usage	90 minutes	Higher-leverage capabilities; customized per cohort

CUSTOMIZATION

A pre-lab survey drives the curriculum. Registered participants receive a brief survey before the session, and their responses determine which topics are covered, at what depth, and in what order — ensuring time is spent on what matters most to each cohort rather than a generic curriculum.

Program Content

Introduction (60 minutes, all audiences)

Every session begins with the same foundation, ensuring all participants share a common baseline before hands-on work begins. The Introduction covers Claude Enterprise access and navigation, the organization's AI use policy and any applicable regulatory or operational guardrails, the fundamentals of working responsibly with a probabilistic system, and a conceptual overview of enterprise capabilities — Projects, shared prompts, and AI-embedded workflows — so participants leave with an accurate sense of what's possible beyond individual chat use.

Lab Part 1: Foundations (90 minutes)

Lab Part 1 builds core proficiency across four broad areas: composing effective prompts, working with files and Claude Projects, controlling the structure and format of outputs, and evaluating Claude's responses with appropriate skepticism. Exact topics, depth, and sequence are selected from a larger menu based on the pre-lab survey.

Lab Part 2: Advanced Usage (90 minutes)

Lab Part 2 covers higher-leverage capabilities that compound the value of the foundations: advanced prompting patterns, document-centric workflows, structured and visual outputs, and lightweight data analysis. As with Part 1, the specific selection is calibrated to each cohort's role and priorities.

Grounded in Real Work

Hands-on exercises are anchored to two realistic scenarios selected in coordination with the sponsoring team ahead of the session. Scenarios are chosen so participants build on familiar context rather than starting fresh with each new topic — and so the skills they practice transfer directly to the work they already do. Document-heavy scenarios suit compliance and operations functions; data-heavy scenarios suit technical and analytical functions; other shapes are accommodated as needed.

What Participants Leave With

• A working understanding of Claude Enterprise's core and advanced capabilities
• Practical prompt-writing skills they can apply immediately to their own work
• A calibrated approach to evaluating and validating Claude's outputs, appropriate to their operational context
• A personal Claude Project configured for their role, ready to use on day one
• A digital workbook with exercises, prompt templates, and reference material for continued practice
