Claude Coworker Training Newcastle
Make Claude your most reliable teammate — without writing a line of code. A one-day, classroom-style workshop in Newcastle for marketing, operations and professional services teams. Run by Rye Smith, Australia's Claude Ambassador.
Six skills you'll walk out with
No theory dumps. Every module is built around the workflows you'll actually run on Monday morning.
Prompting frameworks that actually stick
Move beyond one-shot prompts. Learn the repeatable structures that turn Claude into a reliable teammate for briefs, reports and analysis.
Projects, files and persistent context
Set up Claude Projects so your team's brand voice, style guide, customer personas and reference docs stay loaded across every chat.
Working with files — the real workflow
Upload PDFs, spreadsheets, transcripts and slide decks. Get accurate summaries, structured extractions and rewrites without retyping a thing.
Voice, tone and brand consistency
Train Claude on your house style so every output sounds like your team — not a generic AI. Includes style guides, voice prompts and review loops.
Automations without writing code
Chain Claude into recurring workflows using Projects, custom instructions and lightweight integrations. No Python, no engineers required.
Governance for teams
Data privacy, approval workflows, hallucination spotting, and the team rituals that make Claude safe to deploy across marketing, ops and HR.
Three modules, one day
9:30am to 4:30pm. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea included. Every module finishes with a hands-on lab using your own team's real work.

Built for the way Newcastle teams actually work
Newcastle's economy is rebuilding around three real strengths — industrial comms supporting the Port of Newcastle and the heavy industry corridor, the Hunter Valley wine and food tourism market, and the rising tech, research and creative scene clustered around the University of Newcastle, NIER and the Hunter Innovation district. The teams across all three carry the same problem: high content demands, small headcounts, lots of stakeholders. Claude as a coworker is built for exactly that.
Industrial comms teams supporting the Port, Williamtown defence operations and the Hunter heavy industry corridor use Claude for technical documentation, community comms, stakeholder updates, board papers and the steady stream of media and regulator-facing copy that comes with operating critical infrastructure. Hunter Valley wine marketing teams — from Pokolbin and Lovedale cellar doors to the broader Hunter Wine and Tourism Council operators — use Claude for cellar door content, audience research, harvest comms and the export documentation that comes with selling Hunter wines overseas. And UoN-adjacent research and tech marketing teams use it for grant applications, research summaries, capability statements and B2B content.
This workshop is designed for those teams. Bring the community comms doc that's been on hold, the cellar door newsletter no one wants to write, the grant application that's still in drafts. By 4:30pm you'll have working Claude Projects for at least two of them — calibrated for Hunter voice and the real workflows your team runs every week.
