Small business owners across the Petrie electorate will have an opportunity to build their digital skills and explore how artificial intelligence could improve productivity at a free workshop next week.
Federal Member for Petrie Emma Comer MP has partnered with Google Australia to host the Digital Skilling for Business workshop on Tuesday, November 17, at 10am.
The session will focus on foundational digital skills and AI-powered productivity, helping business owners better understand how emerging technology could support their day-to-day operations.
For small businesses juggling customer demands, administration and limited resources, digital tools and AI offer opportunities to streamline routine tasks, improve efficiency and free up time to focus on business growth.
Emma said finding time to understand and adopt new technology could be difficult for small business operators.
“Running a small business takes an enormous amount of time, energy and commitment. Finding the time to get your head around new technology can be a challenge,” Emma said.
“This workshop is about giving local business owners practical skills they can take back to their business, whether that’s building their confidence with digital tools or exploring how AI could help with everyday tasks.
“I want our local small businesses to have every opportunity to succeed. They create local jobs, support our community and help make our suburbs such great places to live.”
The workshop is aimed at giving business owners practical knowledge they can apply in their own operations, regardless of their current experience with digital technology.
For businesses in the City of Moreton Bay, particularly those operating across the Petrie electorate, the free session provides an opportunity to explore technology that could help manage workloads and support productivity without the cost of paid training.
Emma encouraged local operators to take advantage of the opportunity.
“I’m pleased to be teaming up with Google Australia to bring this opportunity to Petrie, and I encourage local business owners to come along.”
The workshop will be held at 10am on Tuesday, November 17, with the venue to be confirmed closer to the event.
Attendance is free. Small business owners can register online here.
