Learn how to put Claude to work in your small business.

​The Claude SMB Workshop in partnership with Wake Technical Community College Small Business Center is coming to Raleigh, hosted by RDU Labs — an Approved Claude SMB Trainer organization.

​We'll connect Claude to the tools you already use (QuickBooks, Shopify, Gusto, and more) and run real workflows together: answering leads, turning a voice memo into a priced proposal, closing the books, and a Monday brief that starts your week with cash, leads, and priorities in one place.

​What you'll get

​A real task working. Bring one of yours (payroll, invoices, marketing, a lead to follow up) and leave with it running in Claude, not just a plan to try it later.

​Practical AI fluency: what Claude does well, what to double-check, and where the limits are. Built for business owners, not engineers. No technical background needed.

​Help in the room while you build.

​One free month of Claude Max (for people new to Claude Max).
