NORCAT and Vector Institute partner on AI training

Canadian training and innovation organisation NORCAT plans to partner with artificial intelligence-focused  Vector Institute on technical and strategic AI training and talent resourcing focused on the mining industry.

The partners have announced the launch of Vector@NORCAT, which will allow NORCAT to offer its portfolio of mining technology clients to Vector's FastLane programme  -  a growth initiative for small-and-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Canada.

"[This will] deliver a leading-edge AI knowledge transfer that allows this unique community to capitalise on the transformative power of artificial intelligence", said NORCAT.

"AI applies to every sector of our economy and represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve the lives of Canadians," said Garth Gibson, President and CEO, Vector Institute. "Through the FastLane program, Vector's partnership with NORCAT will help the Canadian mining industry do just that by driving innovation, upskilling workers and recruiting world-class talent."

The Vector@NORCAT partnership will kick off on Tuesday, May 10 with a virtual "Introduction to AI" session providing a high-level introduction to key concepts, terminology and applications of artificial intelligence. This event can be accessed here.
