Practical training for Alberta employers and their employees

Keep the know-how. Help your people do more with it.

Train your employees to use AI well and turn the work only one person knows into systems the team can run. Live instruction, real tasks, and an assessment of what they can do.

Built for Alberta's trades, oilfield services, and the offices behind them. Cornerstone has worked with Alberta companies since 2015.

Two places to start

Choose the problem you want your team to solve.

Applied AI Competency

Turn AI use into useful, checked work.

Your employees learn where AI helps, how to check its output, how to protect information, and which decisions need a person.

The result: applied work and an observed assessment against a written standard.

Planned public tuition: $2,450 per employee, plus GST.

Private team training available by inquiry. Interested in a public group? Join the interest list to help shape future classes.

The Step-Back

Keep work moving when your go-to employee is away.

An employee captures one task, including the reasoning and judgment behind it, then hands it to a teammate using the system they built.

The result: a documented task and a seven-day handover test.

Planned public tuition: $3,950 per employee, plus GST.

How to take part

Train your team together. Help shape future public classes.

For a team: start with a conversation about the work, people, and tools. We agree the learning goals, delivery format, support, dates, and fee in a written quote. Explore in-house training.

For an individual employee: tell us which course interests you. Your interest helps us plan public groups, and we will share future dates and availability. Join the interest list.

What to expect

Learn it on real work. Show that it holds.

Choose the right work. Confirm the employee's readiness, manager support, and the task the company wants to improve.
Learn and apply. Live instruction and supervised application use your company's approved tools and accounts.
Meet the standard. Employees receive a Cornerstone course certificate after meeting the attendance, applied work, and assessment requirements.

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

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 new public classes. Read the business case studies.
