Early AI Adoption Lab

Strategic AI training and expert support for women and non-binary entrepreneurs

Organizations using AI are growing faster, doing more, and having greater impact. But there’s a gap. Early data suggests that self-identifying women and non-binary folks are less likely to use AI at work than men. We aim to change that.

The Early AI Adoption Lab is part of the AI Skills Lab Canada initiative, proudly presented by

A free 6-week program for early-stage entrepreneurs to learn practical AI skills

You’ll learn to leverage existing AI tools so you can get through admin, communications, marketing, and customer service tasks faster, allowing you to focus your attention on growing your business.

No tech jargon, no complex theories – just clear, actionable strategies you can put in place right away.

Plus, you’ll develop a custom AI Integration Roadmap that plans out exactly what you should do next, along with the support of AI coaches and a dynamic community of fellow entrepreneurs.
