As AI continues to evolve at a rapid pace, companies are thinking about how this technology will disrupt their current workforce, and their workforce of the future. Building AI fluency into job families is no longer optional—it’s foundational. Organizations that ignore this will lose out on their return on human capital, while high-potential employees WILL defect to more AI-savvy employers - these are the growth champions you can’t afford to lose!
Determining where to start is a challenge because there is no playbook on effective AI implementation to lean on. “Digital transformation” is quickly being replaced by “AI Transformation” initiatives as companies who wish to remain competitive must be digital leaders, regardless of the sector they are competing in. Yet only 15% of global executives say their teams are ready to work alongside AI, frustrated that their talent isn’t yet prepared to capture some of the US $4 trillion of value that Gartner forecasts that AI will unlock by 2027. This AI illiteracy is costing companies dearly.
For companies unsure how to map digital and AI skills into its roles, close capability gaps, and position itself as an employer of choice, the 2025 AI Literacy Program provides a clear roadmap. Through this program, you will acquire the tools needed to upskill your workforce, safeguard retention, and secure your competitive edge. The first of its kind in Canada, this program provides: a practical program designed for people leaders who will effectively shape the competencies and skills needed for the AI-disrupted workforce of today and be competitive for attracting and retaining the AI-powered workforce of tomorrow.
This is why the Government of Alberta, with support from the Federal Government, has selected Untapped Energy as the lead nonprofit organization to design and deliver an AI Literacy Program aimed directly for employers. A series of online and in-person sessions provide the necessary tools to help your organization:
• Build AI Fundamentals and Data Fluency
• Achieve Critical Thinking and Fact Checking skills
• To implement AI responsibly and ethically
• Effectively plan for the future of your organization's workforce & required AI competencies
All participants will be provided with a Strategic AI Adoption roadmap and complete an AI Organizational Skills maturity assessment, a key foundation for your organization to prepare for its future workforce and talent strategy.
