From Q1’s AI Learning Momentum to Q2’s Workplace Application
In Q1 2026, many learners were still exploring what AI could do. Through workshops, career events, and community sessions, they saw how AI could support content creation, personal branding, workflow automation, and daily work tasks.
By Q2, the conversation became more focused. Learners were no longer asking only how AI works. They wanted to know how to apply it with purpose.
Across our Q2 events, one theme stood out. People wanted AI skills they could bring back to work, interviews, business ideas, and everyday decision-making.
This shift reflects how AI learning in Singapore is maturing. It is no longer just about trying a tool once. It is about knowing when to use it, how to judge its output, and how to solve real business problems.

23 April 2026 — Alumni Spotlight: Lim Yi Ping on Applying AI at Work
On 23 April, Vertical Institute hosted an Alumni Spotlight session featuring Lim Yi Ping, a Generative AI alumnus who has been applying AI across work, career growth, and business.
Yi Ping was previously featured on CNA’s Money Mind for his AI upskilling journey. In the feature, he shared how learning AI helped him secure a 33% salary increase and show stronger value during interviews.
At the alumni session, the focus was not just on his media story. Yi Ping shared what happens after learning AI: how to use it with intention, apply it to real tasks, and keep improving through practice.
The session drew 25 attendees and focused on practical takeaways learners could use beyond the classroom.
Key points from the sharing included:
- How to move beyond basic prompting and build more structured AI workflows
- Why AI works better when paired with clear thinking and domain knowledge
- How professionals can use AI for brainstorming, content creation, slides, and automation
- Why showing real AI outputs matters more than simply saying “I know AI”
- How learners can continue applying AI after completing a course
Yi Ping’s sharing gave alumni a useful reminder. AI skills grow when you keep applying them to real problems. The goal is not to learn every new tool. The goal is knowing which tool works best for each situation.

24 May 2026 — AI for Busy Professionals @ Sengkang CC
On 24 May, Vertical Institute supported the AI for Busy Professionals workshop at Sengkang Community Club. The session reached full capacity, with PMETs coming together to explore how AI can support common workplace tasks.
The focus was practical from the start. Participants were introduced to AI tools they could use for brainstorming, summarising information, and creating presentation materials.
Key use cases covered during the workshop included:
- Brainstorming ideas with ChatGPT for campaigns, projects, content drafts, and proposals
- Turning complex ideas into clear summaries with Claude
- Creating first-draft presentation slides faster with Gamma AI
- Identifying everyday tasks where AI can reduce manual effort
- Learning how to start with a work problem before choosing an AI tool
The workshop showed how AI events in Singapore can help working professionals take small, useful steps. You do not need to rebuild your whole AI workflow overnight. Sometimes, the better starting point is one task you repeat every week.

For many participants, the session gave them a clearer way to think about AI at work. Rather than deciding which tool to learn first, begin by asking: “Which task do I want to improve?”
28 to 31 May 2026 — LLSG x South West CDC Learning Neighbourhood @ West Mall, Bukit Batok
From 28 to 31 May, Vertical Institute joined the LLSG x South West CDC Learning Neighbourhood roadshow at West Mall, Bukit Batok.
The event brought hands-on AI learning into a familiar community space. Visitors stopped by the Vertical Institute booth to explore how Generative AI can support career growth, from improving LinkedIn profiles to strengthening resumes.
Instead of only hearing about AI, visitors got to try practical tools on the spot.
At the booth, visitors explored:
- Creating a professional LinkedIn headshot using AI tools
- Improving resumes with VI’s Interview and Resume Coach CustomGPT
- Learning how AI can support job applications and career preparation
- Asking questions about course options, funding support, and upskilling pathways
- Understanding how AI can help with everyday career-related tasks
The LinkedIn headshot activity helped visitors see how AI can improve first impressions with recruiters, clients, and hiring managers. With a clearer profile photo, learners could take one simple step towards a stronger online presence.
Visitors also tried VI’s CustomGPT for resume improvement. The tool helped them think through how to present their experience, strengthen resume bullet points, and better match their resumes to roles they were applying for.
If you missed the event, the main takeaway was simple. AI upskilling does not need to start with complex tools. It can start with one career task, like improving your resume, refreshing your LinkedIn profile, or preparing for an interview.
Events like this show why community-based learning still matters. When practical tools meet real career needs, taking the first step feels much easier.
