A Custom AI Training Program for Build a Dream

AI your team can actually use. Used safely, from day one.

You asked for two things: the effective use of AI in the workplace, and AI security best practices. We do both. First, a few quick questions so we build it for your team, not a generic class.

6

areas covered, from fundamentals to data protection

90 min

to multi-session delivery, scoped to your team

100%

custom to your tools, roles, and goals

ClarityUnderstand what AI can and cannot do.
OrchestrationFit AI into your real daily work.
ControlClear rules that keep data safe.
AdoptionIt sticks because people practice.

What this is

A program built for your team solves both at once

Build a Dream serves thousands of women and gender-diverse people across Canada, on a lean team funded by grants. Your team needs AI to keep up with the work, and you cannot afford a data slip with participant or funder information. A generic course solves neither well.

We can deliver everything you asked for

AI fundamentals, responsible use, security and privacy, risk management, Microsoft 365 and Copilot, daily-workflow integration.

We build it around your team

We are a boutique shop. No one-size-fits-all classes. Your training fits your roles, your tools, and your real work.

Security is built in, not bolted on

Protecting participant, donor, and grant data is part of every session, not a footnote at the end.

Hands-on, not lecture

Your team uses AI on their actual tasks during the session, so it sticks.

You keep the guardrails

Options include a written AI-use policy and a prompt library your team can reference long after we are done.

Where most teams start

  • Staff already using AI tools, with no shared rules
  • Sensitive participant and grant data, no clear guardrails
  • A lean team with no internal IT or AI lead
  • Pressure to do more with the same capacity

Our recommendation: For a team your size, we usually split by role or function (Option B) with a hands-on and educational mix (Option C). A grant writer and a program coordinator use AI very differently, and people learn faster practicing on their own real tasks. We confirm the right shape once we see your answers below.

Quick questions

A real quote depends on a few details

How pricing works

We price to scope, not by the seat

A 90-minute team session and a multi-session cohort split by department are very different builds. Quoting before we understand your team would mean guessing, which either overcharges you or underbuilds the program. Neither is fair to a mission-driven team.
