Solidare AI — Technology built on solidarity

Industries · Training directors, coordinators, instructors and the Committee.

Work reports in, OJT hours posted, RAPIDS updated — and the curriculum never leaves the training center.

The Committee wants a plan, the funders are asking about AI, instructors are worried about a wrong torque value reaching an apprentice, and the coordinator is retyping work reports. Here is the order to do it in.

WHAT YOU NEED TO HAVE READY

  • Standards of apprenticeship, EEO plan and five-year records (29 CFR 29 and 30)
  • Work reports, OJT hours and RAPIDS
  • Applicant ranking and interview scoring, documented
  • The training trust's books and Form 5500
  • A one-page AI program plan for the funder

WHO WILL ASK FOR IT

  • OA or the SAA
  • The Committee — four labor, four management
  • DOL and funders asking about AI in apprenticeship
  • The auditor

HERE IT IS IN 3 WEEKS

AI Use Policy Sprint

3 weeks

A policy card in every classroom, an approved-tools list for instructors, and a one-page AI program plan the Committee approves and the funder can read.

Start with the AI Use Policy Sprint

What you hold

  • Apprentice records, hours and evaluations
  • Curriculum, manuals and assessments
  • Applications, interviews and selection records
  • LMS content and completion data, alongside the Alliance's or the UA's system
  • Instructor and signatory contractor information

What keeps you up at night

  • Course material uploaded to free tools that train on it
  • Apprentice records in personal chatbot accounts
  • AI features switched on inside the LMS by an update nobody reviewed
  • Wrong procedures, code references or safety steps in a chatbot answer
  • Applicant scoring with no explanation for the applicant

Where AI helps first

  • An instructor-only assistant over your own manuals, source shown
  • Lesson, quiz and video production from your curriculum, reviewed by the people who teach
  • An AI-literacy module for apprentices, alongside the national training arm's courses
  • Work-report completeness checks and apprentice scheduling agents with approval gates
  • A one-page AI program plan a funder can read

How we usually start

Three ways in for training funds.

023 weeks

AI Use Policy Sprint

A policy written for the people who will follow it, with the structure behind it to satisfy a regulator, an auditor or a trustee.

  • AI use policy and one-page do's-and-don'ts card
  • Approval path and intake form for new tools
  • Human-review rule for consequential decisions
What you get →
044–6 weeks

Implementation Blueprint

The plan to put AI inside the systems you already run: what first, where it lives, what it connects to, who is trained, and what it costs.

  • Prioritized use cases with a measurement baseline
  • Architecture choice: your environment or hosted
  • Integration plan for your membership, LMS, finance and email systems
What you get →
012–3 weeks

AI Readiness Review

Interviews with the people who do the work, a review across six areas (strategy, data, people, security, governance, workflow), and a written read on what's safe to start now.

  • A readiness scorecard across the six areas
  • Ranked list of use cases by hours saved and risk carried
  • One-page brief for your board, trustees or leadership
What you get →

The standard we work to

  • Data that names a person stays inside your environment
  • A person approves anything that touches a person, a record or a dollar
  • Every AI use disclosed in plain language to the people it affects
  • Aligned to NIST AI RMF and designed to ISO/IEC 42001 structure; threat-modeled to OWASP and MITRE ATLAS
  • You own what we build and can leave with it
