AI is transforming every industry. But for professionals in financial services, it’s not enough to say you’ve used AI tools — you have to show what you can do with them.
That’s where a career-ready AI portfolio comes in.
And no — you don’t need to know how to code.
Why Your Portfolio Matters in 2025
Employers, clients, and regulators aren’t just looking for people who are “AI-aware.” They want proof of:
- Applied understanding
- Responsible use
- Relevant outputs in real-world business contexts
In finance, where trust and accountability matter, an AI portfolio is how you build both credibility and confidence.
What a Non-Technical AI Portfolio Can Include
If you’re not building models, what should go in your portfolio?
Here’s what professionals in the Executive AI Certificate – Financial Services produce in just 4 weeks:
Personal AIQ Score
Benchmark your current fluency across knowledge, application, and responsibility
AI Prompt Playbook
A structured document showing how you use prompts for research, writing, decision-making
AI-Enhanced Outputs
Documents or tools you’ve created with AI assistance: risk memos, strategy briefs, compliance summaries, client presentations
Use Case Reflections
Real examples of how you evaluated a tool, applied it to your workflow, and what the outcome was
Ethics & Risk Analysis
A short case study demonstrating your understanding of hallucination, bias, or legal risk
Portfolio Showcase (Optional)
A Notion page, website, or GitHub folder collecting your outputs in one place
You don’t need to be technical.
You need to be intentional, structured, and credible.
Why This Works in Financial Services
Unlike open-ended creative portfolios, financial AI portfolios are judged on:
- Relevance to business context
- Clarity and responsibility of use
- Ability to improve process, insight, or outcomes
The Executive AI Certificate is designed to help you build exactly that — from scratch.
You don’t need to build AI models.
You just need to build proof that you know how to use them — professionally.
