Barnsley AI at Work

Powered by Atheni

Five funded places for Barnsley firms

Atheni is funded by the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (BIST) to help six Barnsley firms in construction, engineering and related trades use AI in everyday work, such as writing quotes and method statements, answering emails and keeping on top of compliance paperwork. Apollo Access Holdings is our first firm, so five places remain.

At a glance

Fully funded

  • Five places for Barnsley firms
  • 90 days, during working hours
  • Free webinar: Wed 25 Nov, 12pm

What your firm gets

  • A fully funded 90-day programme for your staff, during working hours.
  • Workshops in Barnsley built around your own documents and tasks.
  • Individual coaching for each person, including complete beginners.
  • The Atheni platform and AI tool licences for the programme.

Using AI well

Staff learn to give AI clear instructions, check what it produces, keep company information safe and make sure the finished work still sounds like them. We measure where each person starts and again at the end, so you can see what's changed and which tasks now take less time.

Who can apply

Small and medium-sized Barnsley firms in construction, engineering, access, fabrication, plant hire, maintenance, transport and allied trades. You'll need:

  • a senior sponsor
  • time released for staff to take part
  • some example documents to share, which we anonymise
  • support for short questionnaires before and after

We welcome staff at every level, particularly those aged 40 and over.

How selection works

Register below and we'll be in touch within two working days. We'll choose five firms based on fit and readiness to take part. If we can't offer you a place, we'll tell you about other ways to get involved.
