Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just for tech giants — it’s transforming how small businesses operate, innovate, and grow. From automating routine tasks and improving customer engagement to streamlining marketing and enhancing decision-making, AI tools are helping businesses of all sizes work smarter.
To help local entrepreneurs harness these opportunities, the AI Upskilling for Small Business program is now available to businesses in the Cowichan region. Delivered by Community Futures Central Island, this program provides hands-on training designed to help small business owners and their teams understand and apply AI tools directly to their operations.
Valued at $2,999, the program is being offered for as little as $199, thanks to support from the Province of BC and Economic Development Cowichan. Businesses that sign up early will benefit from the lowest cost — and with limited spots available, early registration is encouraged.
No tech expertise is required and participants will learn to:
- Upskill to meet today’s digital demands
- Automate repetitive tasks and reclaim hours each week
- Streamline workflows so they can focus on growth and creativity
- Overcome fear and uncertainty about new technologies
- Join a supportive AI Community of local business leaders sharing insights, challenges, and wins
Whether you’re looking to save time, boost creativity, or make more informed business decisions, this program offers practical tools to future-proof your business in an increasingly digital world.
