NAAIC and IBM SkillsBuild List Training on AI Agents, Chatbots and RAG

The National Applied AI Consortium is listing an IBM SkillsBuild training event on applied AI agents, chatbots and retrieval-augmented generation.

Free training focuses on applied AI workflows

The National Applied AI Consortium, or NAAIC, describes “IBM SkillsBuild: Applied AI Agents, Chatbots & RAG” as a training event focused on designing autonomous AI systems, multiagent concepts, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines and the integration of agentic AI into professional workflows.

NAAIC’s event page lists the program as a June 22, 2026 cohort. A related IBM SkillsBuild events listing describes a virtual multi-day event titled “AI Agents, Chatbots & RAG” for adult learners and college students, dated June 25, 2026. The two listings point to the same general training theme but present different dates, so prospective participants should check the event pages directly before making plans.

Part of IBM SkillsBuild’s education offering

NAAIC’s IBM SkillsBuild partner page says IBM SkillsBuild provides free, industry-aligned AI courses and identifies “IBM SkillsBuild: Applied AI Agents, Chatbots & RAG” as a June 22, 2026 training event. IBM SkillsBuild’s own events page frames the event as part of its online programming for learners, including college students.

The topics named by NAAIC reflect several areas that have become central to applied AI education. Chatbots are a common entry point for organizations exploring generative AI. Retrieval-augmented generation, often shortened to RAG, is a method for connecting language models to external information sources so responses can be informed by specific documents or data. Agentic AI refers to systems designed to plan or carry out multi-step tasks, sometimes with multiple specialized components working together.

What the listings do — and do not — say

The available event descriptions indicate that the training is intended to be practical, with emphasis on real-world professional workflows. They do not provide a full syllabus, instructor list or detailed project requirements in the supplied excerpts.

For learners and institutions evaluating the event, the most reliable next step is to review the current NAAIC event page and IBM SkillsBuild events page for registration details, timing, eligibility and any prerequisites. Based on the published descriptions, the session is positioned as an introductory-to-applied learning opportunity rather than a product launch or research announcement.
