[SE College] Responding to Increased Generative AI Demand, New AI Training Courses to Start in June—Practical Utilization of Gemini and NotebookLM for Operational Efficiency

Overview SE Plus, an IT training firm, operates 'SE College,' a subscription-based IT training service (starting from 28,000 yen/month per company), with the mission to 'provide fundamental IT education to all companies and foster personnel capable of responding to change.' Driven by the significant response to its fiscal 2025 generative AI training programs and the growing need for AI learning, the company has decided to launch a new course series themed around Google's latest AI.

Background Demand for AI-related courses at SE College has been increasing year over year. In the fiscal 2025 popularity rankings, nine of the top ten courses were AI-related. In particular, the 'Operational Efficiency through AI Utilization' series, launched in the second half of fiscal 2025, received substantial attention.

According to a survey by Teikoku Databank (March 2026), 34.5% of companies report that they are 'utilizing' generative AI. However, the internal 'AI application gap' has emerged as a new challenge. In response, SE College will conduct a special lecture series for the first half of fiscal 2026. This will feature five practical sessions covering 'Google's Latest AI,' in addition to existing Microsoft Copilot training.

Course Outline 1. **Super Introductory Course to Speed-Work with Google AI Gemini (45 min)**: Covers from basic principles to practical application of Gemini to speed up daily tasks. 2. **Organize Information in an Instant with Google's Latest AI! NotebookLM Super Introduction (45 min)**: Learn to generate highly accurate summaries and analyses based on uploaded documents. 3. **Google AI Gemini Business Application: Practical Techniques to Dramatically Accelerate Work (45 min)**: Comprehensive training on coordinating text, images, and videos in practice, along with Google Workspace integration. 4. **Cross-AI Business Acceleration: 53 Astonishing Tips (45 min)**: A fast-paced demonstration of 53 killer techniques covering Copilot, Gemini, and ChatGPT. 5. **Gemini x PowerPoint Diagramming (45 min)**: A practical course on using AI to produce materials that 'convince in an instant.'
