Investing in AI literacy within your organization can have a substantive impact. AI is a force multiplier, and successful training initiatives will change how your teams work, improve business metrics, and set your team up for success. Alternatively, tools and training that miss the mark can amplify problems or erode broken systems. That’s why it is critical to understand what your team needs to succeed and support their AI learning in a way that builds trust.
AI literacy consulting from the Canadian AI Advancement Institute helps your organization understand your learners’ needs, identify the skill-development opportunities that matter, and build a roadmap for effective AI education. The work starts with a thorough discovery and assessment, so that our recommendations identify the best opportunities for you. At that point, you choose what to invest in based on evidence about your own people.
What we recommend is designed to be timely, fiscally accessible and easy to understand, and it considers stackable learning pathways that align with what your people have already learned or done.
The strategy aligns industry, workforce and organizational objectives with training opportunities that account for what your organization already has in place.
Determining which AI training a workforce needs requires a clear understanding of the opportunities, what is available, and the desired outcomes; the answer changes by role, education level, and industry. AI literacy consulting is the diagnostic step that comes before training.
It typically runs in two or three stages depending on your needs:
The strategy report is the main deliverable and includes the needs assessment results, skills training recommendations, the internal and external programs and training opportunities available to you, the training we recommend, and what ongoing support should look like.
CAIAI has worked with chambers of commerce, universities, non-profits, and private employers to determine what their people needed before recommending any training, and in several cases the answer changed what the client planned to buy. This step can completely change the trajectory of your AI literacy initiative.

Learners or employers are usually unaware of opportunities to pay for their learning. We have shared resources to help you identify available funding opportunities, including scholarships for individuals and grant programs for individuals and employers.
Apply for a scholarship through our Canadian AI scholarships page. In addition, visit our Canadian AI grant funding page to see what individuals or employers can apply for.
Tell us about your team and what you’re trying to achieve, and we’ll follow up within two business days to scope the assessment and put a quote in writing.
The Canadian AI Advancement Institute exists to help Canadians learn, adapt and succeed with AI. Literacy consulting is where that starts for an organization: understanding what your people actually need before anyone commits to a course.
