Building an AI curriculum from scratch takes time and expertise most institutions and associations don’t have, and a rushed one risks leaving out exactly what learners need.
The Canadian AI Advancement Institute partners with institutions, organizations, chambers of commerce and not-for-profits to co-deliver AI courses that increase AI adoption across Canada. Rather than building a curriculum from the ground up, your organization can offer our AI courses through a partnership built around your members or learners.
This partnership unlocks timely, fiscally accessible, and easy-to-understand AI literacy for your learners, and it considers stackable learning pathways that align with a learner’s previous learning or experience.
Its content aligns with government objectives and workforce development goals and incorporates insights from contributing AI experts, which matters when your organization puts its name on what your members learn.
In addition, should you have an existing course catalogue, our offerings present an opportunity to expand your current curriculum with our stackable AI courses.
Many institutions and associations want to offer AI education but may not have the infrastructure or resources to develop and update new AI courses at scale. Our course partnerships solve that by providing our partners with proven AI literacy opportunities to offer under a shared banner, without you having to worry about:
The partnership moves learners through three phases: Learning, where they work through the course content; Adapting, where they apply it to their own context; and Succeeding, where they put AI to work with confidence.
Getting started is easy. We talk through who your members or learners are, what they’re likely to need, and how you’d want the course presented to them; then we agree how it’s promoted, what your members pay, and how enrolment reaches us. From there, your organization promotes the offer, and we run everything behind it, from the platform to the learner support to the credential at the end.
Partners describe the arrangement as turnkey, with fiscal, reputational and logistical advantages: no curriculum budget, an association with a recognized AI education provider, and none of the back-end work of running a course.
The CAIAI partners with universities, chambers of commerce and national organizations to co-deliver AI education. Each partnership has given the partner organization a credible AI offering for its members without the cost or delay of building one, while CAIAI’s own reach has grown through the association. Several began as a single event or workshop and became a standing offer once the demand was clear.
These posts walk through the course content your learners would work through under a partnership.
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 organization and your members or learners, and we’ll follow up within two business days to talk through what a partnership could look like.
The Canadian AI Advancement Institute exists to help Canadians learn, adapt and succeed with AI. A course partnership extends that mission through the institutions, associations and chambers of commerce that already have your trust.
