As AI reshapes industries and economies, the need for accessible and robust education pathways has never been greater. The AI Pathways Partnership (AIPP) rises to this challenge, ensuring Alberta remains a global leader in preparing a future-ready workforce. 

This collaboration between Amii, Athabasca University, NorQuest College, Concordia University of Edmonton, and Bow Valley College builds on our region's unparalleled AI expertise to transform how we empower learners at every stage of their journey.

With deep roots in AI research and education, Amii is proud to support the AI Pathways Partnership as a subject matter expert, helping to design impactful, future-proof programs for students eager to build careers in AI. 

Opportunity for All Albertans

AI is not just about technology—it’s about people and potential. The AIPP brings this to life by connecting learners to flexible, career-focused education pathways. Spanning high school, post-secondary, and graduate-level programs, these offerings include credit and non-credit formats. Whether you’re a student eager to enter the AI field, a mid-career professional looking to pivot, or an expert sharpening your skills, AIPP provides a tailored pathway for growth.

Diversity and accessibility are foundational to AIPP’s vision. By creating pathways for Albertans of all backgrounds and experience levels, the partnership ensures that AI education isn’t confined to a few, but instead is accessible to many, serving as a shared opportunity for individuals to navigate the AI landscape with confidence and purpose.

This inclusivity benefits learners and also strengthens Alberta’s workforce, equipping it to adapt to a dynamic global economy. AIPP's commitment to training and retaining talent demonstrates a profound understanding of the broader socioeconomic impact of AI readiness.

Future-Proofing Our Region

The pace of AI advancement shows no signs of slowing. As automation, data-driven insights, and intelligent systems redefine the workforce, initiatives like AIPP are essential. By aligning education with industry needs, the initiative ensures Alberta's AI talent pipeline thrives, where learners and professionals remain competitive and relevant in an increasingly evolving landscape. 

Through the AI Pathways Partnership, we are shaping a future where Alberta’s leadership in AI education empowers learners to excel in an increasingly AI-driven world. Together, we’re building a smarter, more inclusive future—one pathway at a time.

This collaboration is made possible through funding from Western Economic Diversification Canada, which aims to shape Alberta’s future by equipping learners with the skills to succeed in a growing field.
