AI Catalyst Training Program
Use ChatGPT to Save Time and Strengthen Your School’s Admissions and Marketing
Most school leaders know AI can help.
But they’re not sure how to use it effectively or how to apply it to their school.
Led by Dr. Rick Newberry, the AI Catalyst Training Program gives you a clear, practical system to use ChatGPT in your admissions and marketing so you can save time, improve your messaging, and work more strategically.

“This was an incredibly practical, hands-on training with real takeaways that can be immediately implemented… truly worth the time and financial investments.”

The Challenge
If you’re like most schools, you’re being asked to:
- Generate more inquiries
- Communicate your value more clearly
- Do more with limited staff and time
At the same time, AI tools like ChatGPT are evolving quickly.
Without the right guidance, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or to use them in ways that don’t actually move the needle.
A Different Kind of Training
This is not a theoretical overview of AI.
This is a step-by-step, structured experience designed specifically for how schools enroll, communicate, and market.
You won’t just learn what’s possible.
You’ll learn how to apply it directly to your work.

“The custom GPTs save me time when creating email series and post event communications.”
