As industries across Ottawa and beyond undergo rapid AI-driven transformation, University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Engineering is empowering professionals with the skills needed to stay competitive. Its AI reskilling programs ranging from specialized micro‑credentials to online master’s degrees in Applied AI and Digital Transformation, are equipping working adults with practical knowledge in machine learning, NLP, computer vision, and ethical AI deployment. This upskilling initiative ensures local workers can lead digital change rather than be left behind.
By targeting professionals from diverse sectors, finance, healthcare, marketing, and public services—these programs help bridge workforce skill gaps felt across municipal and regional organizations. This supports local resilience as governments and local businesses embrace data analytics, automation, and digital innovation.
Beyond technical instruction, these programs emphasize responsible AI—teaching learners not just how to build tools, but how to do so ethically and effectively in real-world contexts. Graduates return to local organizations equipped to implement AI solutions that enhance public services, strengthen operational capacity, and unlock regional growth.
