Co.Labs Training AI Adoption

For SK Businesses, by SK Businesses

Team-wide AI Adoption Training.

Most businesses have AI tools. But the hard part is helping your team understand best practices, practical use cases, and safe and reliable use.

Co.Labs runs practical, expert-led AI Adoption training for Saskatchewan businesses to train their teams on the tools they already have - or new tools that you're ready to introduce.

Who is this for

For teams that have access to AI, but want to level up their adoption

The workshop is designed for organizations where teams may already use tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or Gemini, yet adoption varies, or some are unsure of how AI is useful to them.

It works best when participants share enough context to learn together. For example: one department, related functions such as sales and marketing, or managers working at a similar level.

The curriculum

Level up your whole team's AI Adoption

The workshop combines clear instruction, relevant examples, and hands-on practice. We adapt the emphasis to the group while always delivering…

Shared vocabulary and expectations.

Plain-language terminology and a realistic view of what today's AI tools can and cannot do.

Understanding of the tools for everyday use.

Guided practice with tools the organization already provides, or a new tool the team is preparing to use.

Real-world use cases we've seen or done ourselves.

Examples and exercises that help the group identify tasks where AI can be genuinely useful.

  • shared expectations for safe, responsible use;
  • a short list of AI use cases worth exploring further.

Management receives

  • Access to ongoing learning resources employees can revisit after the workshop
  • A Continuity Playbook with practical guidance for encouraging continued learning and peer support
The format

Workshops tailored to your team

We meet your team where they're at. Workshops can be done in person, hybrid, or virtually (though we'll always prefer in-person). We'll adapt the workshop to whatever AI tools your team has access to (or a tool that you want to introduce to them).

We can deliver workshops to any size of room (or Zoom), but for large rooms, we'll bring in extra facilitators so that your whole team gets hands-on support. Groups also get more from the workshop when everyone works in related areas (eg: sales and marketing) or share a similar level of responsibility (eg: people managers).

Why Co.Labs

9 years of growing Saskatchewan tech

Since 2017, Co.Labs has been supporting technology startups and entrepreneurs in Saskatchewan. As a central hub for the tech sector, we work with entrepreneurs, operators, and technical leaders who use emerging tools in real organizations.

The training curriculum draws on our experience working with tech companies and taps into our network of experts. We strive to keep AI Adoption practical, current, and grounded in the realities of the most innovative local businesses.

We will be clear about what AI can help with, where it is unreliable and when a different kind of support is needed.

Questions

FAQ

Who should attend?

The session works best when participants share useful context. For example, one department, related functions or managers at a similar level.

Where is it held?

We can run the workshop at your workplace (as long as it's in Southern Saskatchewan). For teams in Saskatoon with fewer than 12 participants, we can host it at the Co.Labs office.

Which AI tools do you teach?

We can work with the tools your organization already provides or is preparing to introduce. That may include ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini or another approved tool. The exact emphasis is confirmed with the organization before the session.

Can you just tell me how we should be using AI?

The workshop is designed to level up the team, so that they can continue learning AI Adoption, and figure out what the best use cases are for themselves and their own work. That said, we do offer follow-up AI Audits, where we identify specific use cases and power users on your team.

What about sensitive information and security?

The workshop includes practical expectations for sensitive information, human review, and access. We work within the tools and policies the organization has approved. If technical or policy decisions are still open, we help you identify them ahead of time.

What happens after the workshop?

Management receives ongoing learning resources for employees and a Continuity Playbook with guidance for supporting continued learning and peer adoption. AI Audits, continued training, and technical referrals can be discussed separately.

Can you do AI systems implementation?

No, this is team training. If the organization needs a custom AI system, integration or deeper technical implementation, we can help clarify that need and refer the organization to an appropriate specialist.
