As AI transforms the workplace, continuing education has a key role to play in helping learners regain a sense of agency, writes Avi Sheshachalam (MacEwan University); He argues that AI and innovation-focused programs must go beyond technical fluency to cultivate the ethical, creative, and strategic thinking needed to lead organizations through change. Sheshachalam highlights how MacEwan has applied this philosophy by developing stackable, human-centred AI-focused offerings aligned with industry needs and real-world practice. “We’re not building programs for the future of AI,” he writes. “We’re building programs for the future of people.”
