Per employee, per course
Reimbursed up to $15,000 per employee per year. We structure enrollment to fit cleanly inside the caps.
100%
Instructor-led, live
Fifty hours delivered live over Zoom in small cohorts of up to 30 — concept, demonstration, case-study exercise, and group discussion every session.
Day 1
Usable from the start
You leave each course with a plan, a system, a pipeline, a staffing map — assets you can deploy the next day, not theory to file away.
What $15,000 buys
Five courses, from first plan to exit-ready.
Ten hours each — four live, 2.5-hour sessions over two weeks. Take them as a full sequence or start where your business needs the most help.

Your instructor
Meet Dolores Hirschmann.
Twenty years building, scaling, advising, and exiting businesses — across three languages and more boardrooms than she can count. Founder of Masters in Clarity, fractional CMO, investor, TEDx speaker coach, and the person business owners call when the strategy isn't landing and the team isn't moving.
She designed AI4BIZ Academy because most "AI training" still treats AI like a novelty. This program treats it like what it actually is: leverage. Every session ends with a working system, plan, or pipeline you can deploy the next day — not theory to file away.
"You don't need more information. You need clarity, a system, and the nerve to ship it."
Dolores Hirschmann · Founder, Masters in Clarity
The parent company
AI4BIZ Academy is built by Masters in Clarity.
Masters in Clarity is the consultancy Dolores founded to help founders move from scattered effort to scalable systems — through fractional CMO engagements, strategic advisory, TEDx-grade speaker coaching, and Micro M&A. We've spent two decades getting service businesses unstuck.
AI4BIZ Academy is the same playbook, distilled into five live courses and packaged so Massachusetts businesses can take it on the Commonwealth's tab.
