CALGARY, AB, Nov. 21, 2023 /CNW/ - RoboGarden ? an industry-leading cloud-based publisher that excels in delivering interactive, AI-driven digital skills learning experiences ? announces a new collaboration with University of Northern British Columbia Continuing Studies to offer its singular Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Bootcamp experience to the UNBC CS workforce upskilling and lifelong learning community.

New Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) surveys of employers and workers in the manufacturing and finance sectors of seven countries shed new light on the impact that Artificial Intelligence has on the workplace The findings suggest that both workers and their employers are generally very positive about the impact of AI on performance and working conditions. However, there are also concerns, including job loss. The surveys show that both training and worker consultation are associated with better outcomes for workers.

This unique learning program was developed with career progression and earning potential in mind, geared toward providing students with access to an industry with an average base pay of over $88k per year. Prior programming experience or credentials are not required. Instead, the Bootcamp meets students on their terms, encouraging them to transfer their prior studies and life experiences into industry-informed Machine Learning and AI projects. Delivered online via the designed in Calgary RoboGarden learning platform, students work through 10 progressive learning modules, offering an experience as engaging as it is enriching, and culminating in RoboGarden's signature Capstone project. Coupled with live-virtual instructor sessions, this learning experience disrupts the typical education style to provide students with industry expert instructors and curated content to deliver outcomes for what is needed in the workforce now, and in the future.

"We know that the Canadian economy across sectors is transforming rapidly with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning-based tools, services and solutions," said Dr. Mohamed Elhabiby, Co-Founder and President of RoboGarden. "It gives me great pleasure to know that we're equipping the Canadian workforce with the skillsets they need to innovate and succeed in this new AI-driven era. The students we'll be teaching in partnership with our amazing collaborators at University of Northern British Columbia Continuing Studies, will complete the program ready to contribute with high-demand skills, bringing with them practical, future-minded learnings from our world-class instructors and curriculum."

"Part of reimagining how we educate and learn to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world is through collaboration. Our partnership with RoboGarden to deliver this online, instructor-supported Machine Learning and AI Digital Workforce Upskilling Bootcamp will provide residents in northern British Columbia with the most up-to-date tools and resources in this field," says UNBC Continuing Studies Interim Manager Stacey Linton.
