Claude AI & Cowork Training

Welcome to the Chesapeake Fine Food Group training track. As we transition our workflows to harness the power of our Claude Pro workspace, this curriculum serves as your roadmap to master collaborative AI.

Program Lead: AI Engineering | Platform: Claude Pro & Claude Cowork

Program Format

  • Phase 1: Self-Paced (Anthropic Courses)
  • Phase 2: Hands-On Workshop #1
  • Phase 3: Workshop #2 & Custom Projects

Why AI Training at Chesapeake?

By integrating Claude into our culinary and business workflows, we can streamline supply-chain tracking, analyze regional food trends, automate vendor communications, and standardize recipes with improved speed and accuracy.

Our program focuses on turning Claude from a standard chatbot into an active, collaborative digital teammate. You will earn official certificates from Anthropic as you complete the foundations, building valuable career credentials along the way.

Phase 2: Live Hands-On Session #1 & Collaboration

Live / Workshop

Once foundational courses are complete, we will meet live to bridge theoretical learning with practical, day-to-day work.

Live Workshop 1: Chesapeake Practical Applications

A live session with your AI Engineer. We will address questions from Phase 1, review basic and intermediate prompting patterns, and explore specific workflows like standardizing specifications or drafting client pitches.

Deep-Dive: Introduction to Claude Cowork

Following the live workshop, you will log back onto the Anthropic portal to complete this course. Learn how to work collaboratively with Claude on complex, multi-stage files and shared team resources.

The Sandbox Assignment

To reinforce the training, you will create a structured project inside Claude using custom files (such as inventory sheets or regional catalogs) to automate one recurrent administrative task.

Phase 3: Shared Workspaces & Live Session #2

Live / Integration

The final stage centers on shared environment collaboration and optimizing complex department workflows.

Live Workshop 2: Code-Along & Project Review

In this interactive workshop, we will review the Sandbox Projects built by the team. We will show how different team members can collaborate on a single thread and optimize prompt structures.

Ongoing Customization & Dedicated Engineering Support

After completing both sessions, you will have continuous access to office hours and targeted prompt tuning to maintain efficient AI integration across your team.
