US EditionGoogle Canada Announces $13 Million AI Opportunity Fund to Strengthen Canada's AI Workforce
- On June 4, 2025, Google Canada revealed a $13 million fund dedicated to advancing AI skills training nationwide by supporting four Canadian organizations.
- The fund was created to address a reported AI skills gap hindering Canadian businesses from adopting AI and to prepare over two million Canadians for an AI-powered economy.
- Funding will be allocated to four Canadian organizations: an Edmonton-based AI institute focusing on post-secondary students, a Vancouver group dedicated to training Indigenous communities, a Toronto organization supporting underserved populations with AI skills, and the Toronto Public Library, which will provide AI education and resources to the general public.
- Sabrina Geremia, vice president of Google Canada, explained that the fund aims to enhance workforce capabilities and equip Canadians with the necessary skills to thrive in an economy increasingly influenced by AI, while Indigenous-focused training programs seek to address the current underrepresentation of Indigenous people in the tech sector, which stands at less than one percent.
- This initiative is expected to boost AI literacy nationwide, increasing productivity and enabling equitable access to future jobs amid AI’s projected $230 billion economic impact in Canada.
