January 12, 2026

Artificial intelligence training

The École des dirigeants HEC Montréal and the Centre de recherche informatique de Montréal (CRIM) have announced their collaboration on a program combining theory and practical application through mentoring, to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence within Quebec organizations. The training course Operationalize your1st AI project training program has been specially designed to enable SMEs to identify the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence within their organization, and to structure a robust approach using the best resources at both strategic-tactical and practical levels.

The formula

This artificial intelligence training consists of 3 modules totalling 30 hours of training delivered at the École des dirigeants HEC Montréal to establish the digital diagnosis of participating companies and find the right use case in line with their business objectives. In order to design a robust plan, participants will be required to present their projects to decision-makers and financial contacts, thus creating a more evidence-based corporate culture. Between each module, participants will be mentored by CRIM experts, who will support them as they apply the tools within their companies and develop their projects. The first cohort will start in April and finish in early July.

Up to 85% financing

From a financial point of view, this high-quality training program, valued at $28,230 + taxes, is offered at a cost of $4,995 + taxes, thanks to the involvement of partners such as NRC-IRAP or others (depending on the company’s case study) who support the initiative by offering coverage of eligible expenses up to 85% of the amount.

Because of these many advantages, places are limited to 2 people per company (executives or managers responsible for innovation and data management), particularly from SMEs in a growth phase, with 20 or more employees, who must commit to attending the full course.
