SUMMARY:AI: Protecting Proprietary Data – Virtual
DESCRIPTION:In 2026\, organizations face a rapidly evolving threat landscape in which artificial intelligence can unintentionally expose intellectual property\, trade secrets\, and sensitive operational knowledge. With unmanaged environments\, behaviors can turn proprietary knowledge into a public asset and create opportunity for accidental disclosure\, espionage\, data leakage\, and competitive loss. \nThis webinar re-frames AI integration through a RISK and Maturity centric lens\, showing how NJMEP can help organizations build a defensible “AI perimeter” that protects high value information while still enabling innovation.\nParticipants will learn how to reduce human driven exposure\, strengthen technical safeguards\, and ensure that company data remains a strategic advantage rather than a liability. \nLearning Objectives \nData Privacy and Security Risks\n• Risks related to handling sensitive or personal data.\n• Potential for data breaches\, leaks\, or misuse.\n• Ensuring secure data storage\, transmission\, and access controls. \nGovernance and Ethics\n• Set clear\, enforceable rules for acceptable AI use\n• Establish clear governance frameworks compliant with industry standards.\n• Intellectual property issues related to AI models and data.\n• Monitoring auditing and avoiding data drift\n• Bias and Fairness Risks \nHuman Factor Awareness\n• Understand when sensitive or regulated data must not be shared and prompts have to be treated like public disclosures.\n• Avoiding Automation Bias\, complacency and lack of Situational awareness\n• Training\, communication\, and cultural adaptation. \nPrivate AI Deployments\n• Use enterprise grade private LLMs to keep proprietary data inside organizational boundaries.

SUMMARY:Workplace ESL & Contextual Literacy - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:10/20\, 10/21\, 10/27\, 10/28/26\nThis intensive\, contextualized training program shifts from general ESL to “Floor-Ready” literacy\, designed specifically for manufacturing and industrial environments. This program moves beyond traditional English language instruction\, focusing on the specialized language and literacy required to operate safely and efficiently on the factory floor. \nBy using company-specific documentation\, employees learn to interpret technical documents\, understand safety protocols\, and communicate risks effectively. Language barriers in a factory environment are not just HR issues—they are safety liabilities. \nThis course empowers workers to read\, understand\, and act\, converting the workplace into a safer\, more productive environment. \nTarget Audience: Non-native English speakers working in manufacturing\, production\, or warehouse environments. \nGoal: To turn language proficiency into a tangible safety and production tool\, reducing risks and minimizing HR incidents caused by miscommunication.
