Leave ready to lead AI at your institution.
Every hour maps to one of four concrete values. No abstract theory: you leave with perspective, capability, plans, and people.
Two organizations. One mission.
A certificate co-presented by a workforce-and-education AI ecosystem and the only association of Hispanic-Serving Institutions, reaching leaders nationally and around the world.
Conectado is an education and workforce ecosystem that blends AI with immersive learning to move people from the classroom to career to the boardroom — delivering executive education, AI literacy, and custom AI agents for institutions and employers.
A signature tool, the AI Opportunity Backpack, helps learners and teams reach AI tools, credentials, and career resources in a governed, easy-to-launch hub.
The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, founded in 1986, represents more than 400 colleges and universities in the United States, Latin America, Spain, and school districts throughout the U.S. HACU programs and services are available to all students, faculty, and staff at HACU-member institutions.
The Association’s headquarters are in San Antonio, Texas, with offices in Washington, D.C., and Sacramento, California.
Built for the people who set direction.
This is a leadership program, not a technical bootcamp. It's for senior decision-makers in higher education (colleges and universities) who need to lead their institution through AI, with the language, judgment, and plan to do it well.
Content, speakers, and templates are designed for leaders at national and international institutions, including Spanish-speaking participants.
Reserve a seat →Three days. Three hours each.
Nine hours, fully online, structured to respect a senior leader's calendar. Short enough to commit to, long enough to leave with something real.
Live, facilitated sessions with recordings available after, plus fill-in templates, for leaders from national and international institutions. First cohort: October 13–15, 2026, 12–3 PM PST (3–6 PM EST). Second cohort: February 17–19, 2027, same times.
Three days, at a glance.
First cohort: October 13, 14 and 15, 2026. Each cohort day runs 12–3 PM PST (3–6 PM EST). Second cohort: February 17, 18 and 19, 2027, same times. The landscape, then applied case studies, then the roadmap you take home.
Not notes. Real deliverables.
Institutional AI Adoption Roadmap
A structured, peer-reviewed plan for responsible AI adoption across your department or institution, built on Conectado's framework, grounded in your goals, with clear metrics for progress.
Hands-on AI capability

Learn from people doing the work.
How it stacks up.
Top executive AI programs are excellent, and built for a different audience, calendar, and budget. Here's where this one is different.
Competitor format and pricing are approximate, drawn from public 2026 program pages, and shown for orientation only. Names belong to their respective institutions.
One price. No fine print.
Every seat is the same fair rate, no group pricing, no member tiers. Cohorts are intentionally small and focused.
