AI AdoptionGet more from AI
Co.Labs provides AI training and advisory for Saskatchewan businesses. We help executives and people managers identify useful applications, set clear expectations for AI use, and train their teams on the tools they already have.
Start with your priorities, build your team's skills
We start by working with team leaders, helping them identify AI use cases from what we've seen before. Then we work with your team to put useful applications into practice.
We meet your team where they're at, adapting training to what they need and where they're headed. Workshops can be done in person, hybrid, or virtually (though we'll always prefer in-person).
How we work with you:
Advisory for leaders
We work with you to understand how your team uses AI today and clarify your priorities and company guidelines. Together, we identify a short list of useful AI applications and practical next steps for your team.
Practical AI training for your team
With your team in the room, we'll walk through a real workflow in your business and show them how to bring AI into it. Your team gets to see how AI can be applied live, using approved tools and best practices.
Optional consulting and implementation
When a business or team needs more support for an AI use case, Co.Labs can scope and manage implementation, bringing in specialists as needed.

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.
We work with founders and operators using AI in their businesses. We bring relevant examples from that work into conversations and training with your team.
We will be clear about what AI can help with, where it is unreliable and when a different kind of support is needed.

FAQ
Who should attend?
Conversations start with the executive or people manager responsible for the team or work you want to improve. Training works best with people who share useful context, such as one department, related functions, or managers at a similar level. Involve IT or other specialists when tool, access or policy decisions need their input.
How many people can attend?
We can deliver workshops to any size of room (or Zoom), but for large teams we may need to bring in another facilitator so that your whole team gets hands-on support.
Where do you offer AI training?
We offer AI workshops at workplaces in Southern Saskatchewan, including Saskatoon and Regina. For teams in Saskatoon with fewer than 12 participants, we can host at the Co.Labs office. Workshops can also run virtually or in a hybrid format.
Which AI tools do you teach?
We offer practical AI training using Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. We tailor the workshops to your team's work and the tools your organization already provides or is preparing to introduce.
Can you help us identify where to use AI?
Yes. We start with your team's work, current tools and priorities, then help identify useful applications and what it would take to try them. Those priorities shape the training and any further support.
What about sensitive information and security?
Workshops include 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 training?
Management receives ongoing learning resources for employees and a practical guide to supporting continued learning. We can also discuss further training, consulting or implementation support, with the scope and cost agreed separately.
Can you help with implementation?
Yes. Co.Labs can scope and manage implementation, bringing in specialists where needed. This is a separate engagement, with its own agreed scope and cost.
