NEW! Artificial Intelligence Literacy Training

Timo Vahtera28.4.2026

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been working intensively on several projects—and I’m really happy to finally share that one of them has just gone live.

We’ve just published a new eLearning course: AI Literacy Training.

This project was inspired in part by the European Union’s new regulation, commonly known as the AI Act, which was published in July 2024. As the regulation gradually comes into force, with key provisions starting to apply in June 2026, it introduces a new and important requirement: organizations working with AI systems are expected to ensure an adequate level of “AI literacy” among their staff and anyone interacting with these systems.

As the regulation states:

“Providers and deployers of AI systems shall take measures to ensure, to their best extent, a sufficient level of AI literacy of their staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems…”

That idea—AI literacy as a practical, necessary skill—is exactly what motivated us to create this course.

We designed it primarily for people working with large language models and other AI tools in their daily work. But it’s not just for professionals. Whether you’re already using AI or just starting to explore it, the goal is to help you understand what’s really going on under the hood and to build confidence in using these tools responsibly and effectively.

The course focuses on a few key areas:

  • understanding how AI systems work (without unnecessary complexity),
  • learning how to use AI tools in a practical, effective way,
  • developing the ability to critically evaluate AI-generated content,
  • and building awareness around ethical, legal, and security considerations.

In short, it’s about moving from “using AI” to actually understanding and navigating it with intention.

If that sounds relevant to you, you can check out the course here:

Now a More Flexible Way to Earn the Occupational Safety Card
At TVA, for a long time, we’ve been looking for a way to make our Occupational Safety Card training more convenient for both employees and employers. As this was made possible by the organising rules set by the Center of Occupational Safety we decided to do something about this.

How to Design an Absence Monitoring System That Actually Tells You Something
A single absence record carries almost no information on its own. The system has to be built around aggregation, comparison, and pattern recognition rather than individual events. The goal isn't to minimize the absence number - that framing leads directly to the wrong outcomes.
How Occupational Health Care Services Monitor Sick Leave in Finland
This post looks at how occupational health care providers take an active role in monitoring sick leave, what they’re looking for, and why this system can come as a genuine surprise to workers coming from countries where it works very differently.
Sick Leave and Job Satisfaction: What Absence Data Is Really Telling You
Most organizations track sick leave the way they track office supplies: a number that goes up or down, gets reported to someone in a spreadsheet, and occasionally triggers a policy reminder when it climbs too high. But sick leave data, read correctly, is one of the richest behavioral signals an organization has about the health of its workplace. Read incorrectly, it becomes a metric that gets "managed" into invisibility while the underlying problems quietly get worse.
