The Leadership Institute at Purdue University Northwest is taking applications for an introduction to AI for business program.

Kajal Jain, an AI systems strategist and product/go-to-market leader, will lead the program from Feb. 20 through April 17. It will include eight 90-minute sessions, two in person at the Hammond campus and six virtual. The course focuses on working professionals and how AI can help them grown their companies.

Participants will learn how to “cut through the misconceptions to understand what AI really is and how to apply it effectively and responsibly in your work,” according to the program description.

Jain serves on the Chicago Interactive Marketing Association board and mentorship committee and is the founding lead of CIMA’s AI Education Program. She also will teach Empresa AI, starting in January, a course on agentic AI at PNW.

Kajal learned product strategy at Kellogg Executive Education at Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Science in marketing and business from Purdue University Northwest.
