The people behind the work

Keep the people who know your company. Upgrade the way they work.

Your long-serving employees know your customers, your crews, and the details that keep the office running. That knowledge has taken years to build. As the tools change, those people deserve a practical way to learn what comes next.

Cornerstone brings modern technology into the work your team already does. We teach employees how to use approved AI tools, check the answers, work with company information carefully, and build digital systems another person can follow.

These are practical technical skills. Employees practise on an agreed work task: a customer update, a job-cost report, a daily routine, or a handover. The course you choose determines the skills and the work they produce.

Our purpose is to help the people you value carry their experience into a changing workplace, with patient instruction, plain language, and time to practise.

Picture the person who has kept your office running for years.

You know who I mean. The one who remembers what the customer needs, spots the missing detail, and knows what to do when the plan changes.

Now there is an AI button in the software they use every day. You don't want to lose their experience. You want to help them use the new tools with confidence.

Here is where I would start: one real task they already understand. A customer update. A job-cost report. A handover. Then practise the new way of doing it, check the result, and make sure they can do it again.

That is the approach behind Cornerstone's private team training. You choose the course and how much your team needs to cover: a focused online workshop, a deeper practice session, or the complete course.

Skills you can see in the work.

Leave with a course plan you can share.

Your planner download sets out the course, teaching hours, workplace task and budget. This image is a sample of that working tool.

Use AI and check its work.

Draft a customer update in an approved tool, check names, dates and commitments against the source, and get the right person to approve it.

Applied AI Competency

See what a job actually costs.

Use your company numbers to track labour, materials and overhead, then prepare a report a manager can use.

Job Costing and Financial Reporting

Make the know-how usable by someone else.

Build instructions in your company's own tools that explain the steps, the decisions, and what to do when the usual plan does not fit.

The Step-Back

Keep the daily work moving.

Build a usable routine, clear decision limits and a handover that coworkers can follow when the usual person is away.

Why the training has to connect to the job

Knowing a tool exists is only the start.

18%

Felt ready to work independently.

In Study.com's 2026 survey, 18% of respondents who had received AI training said it prepared them to work independently.

85%

Could not connect training to their role.

In Docebo's 2026 research, 85% of surveyed employees said their training did not help them use AI in their role.

Funding for employers

Find out what you can apply for before you commit.

Eligible Alberta employers may apply to the Canada-Alberta Productivity Grant. The current employed-trainee cap is $5,000 per fiscal year, within the employer's annual limit. The contribution depends on eligible costs and available limits.

Funding is decided by the Government of Alberta. We can't guarantee approval, and we never cover or refund the employer's share.

Understand the funding

The person you already trust

Fourteen years of experience. A new set of tools.

An illustration adapted from the earlier website, not a client story.

Picture the dispatcher who has kept your schedule running for fourteen years. She knows which customer needs a call before the crew arrives and which driver can handle a difficult site.

Now the company has AI in its email, documents, or scheduling software. Knowing the work and knowing the new tool are two different things. She may need someone to sit alongside her, explain it clearly, and practise a task she recognizes.

The training starts there: use the tool on an approved example, check the facts, keep customer information where it belongs, and decide what still needs a person's judgment. Her experience is part of the lesson.

The aim is a valued employee who can carry what she knows into the next way of working.

An earlier experience behind the courses

When the person who holds the office together needs time away.

In an earlier engagement, an oilfield services company was preparing for the maternity leave of the employee who kept its office running. Her knowledge included the routine tasks, the judgment calls, and what to do when something unexpected happened.

It raised a practical question: how could someone else carry the work while she was away? Listing the tasks was only part of the answer. The reasons behind her decisions mattered too.

That experience helped identify the need for a structured way to share an employee's know-how. It is part of the background to The Step-Back.

This describes earlier business work, before the current courses existed. Names and identifying details are kept private.

Experience behind the courses

Built from the problems real companies faced.

Earlier business engagements showed what happens when everyday work lives in one person's head. Those experiences informed the courses we now teach.

The case studies describe broader business work, not outcomes from the current training courses. Read the business case studies.
