Module 0: GovCon GPT Master Class

Introduction

Generative AI is here to stay. As such, there will be two types of people in the government contracting industry in the near future: those who use AI and thrive, and those who don’t and become unemployed. Let’s make YOU the former not the latter.

But AI is confusing, it’s moving fast, and the “simple” tutorials are often anything but. So we assembled this master class to help GovCon folks up-skill to this new technology easily and conveniently.

Course Format

Here’s how the course works, each module includes:

1. a long form text to read and leverage
2. 📣 wonk notes give you factoids to add to your subject matter expertise (to drop around the water cooler)
3. a practical step you can take at the end of each module to put your skills to use
4. an online community to help you out

New modules will drop on a regular basis, at least weekly so you have fresh content to consume and skills to up.

So, read the article, follow the practical exercise, and share about it in the LinkedIn group.

We include all of our prompts freely so you can try them yourself, modify them for your purposes, and even share them in your own content if you choose. This course and all of it’s contents are the property of UseRogue.com and are offered under the Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 License. You are free to adapt and reuse provided (1) that you provide attribution and link to the original work, and (2) you share alike.

Cool thing for YOU: if you have an idea for a content segment, you contribute a content segment, or contribute to a content segment, you get credit too. This is a community effort, we will learn and grow together.
