Skills Generator: Human x Tech

City of Markham is partnering with Youth Challenge International to bring this project to Markham's youth (Ages 18 to 24). Skills Generator: Human x Tech is a free 10-week training series and networking opportunity, co-designed with young people, to help you learn how to use tech to solve real-world problems and get ready for the future of work.

This project is aiming to bridge the gap between AI tools and the human skills needed to use them ethically and effectively while making real impact.
