Payment & funding options
Mindstone programs are an investment in how you and your team work with AI. Many people expense them through their company. Here's how to make the case, and how to bring your team.
Most people expense it as professional development
A Mindstone program is as valuable to your company as it is to you. Our programs are hands-on, so you apply AI to real work and come back a go-to AI expert on your team. That's why many professionals have their seats covered by their employer.
Every company's policy is different, so the tips below help you make the case.
Reimbursement tips from alumni
Frame it as an investment, not an expense
If it saves even an hour or two a week, it pays for itself.
Bring a plan
Say what you'll apply it to and how. Managers approve specifics with relevance.
Use the budget that already exists
Most teams have a professional-development or training line.
Tap a conference budget
Many teams have one, and the ROI of a structured program is higher than a conference.
Understand your company's education policy
Knowing the limit and process makes the ask easy to approve.
Offer to share back
Bring what you learn (and build) to the team, and share your certificate.
