The technology is here.
Let's make it work for you.
Rize Skill Training offers workshops, courses, and services that help people, organizations, and entrepreneurs in Vancouver and the surrounding area build real confidence with technology — and put it to work for the things that matter most to them.
Not sure where to start?
Rize serves a few different audiences, and the right path depends on who you are and what you need. Pick the one that fits best.

Technology has the power to change lives, expand reach, and open doors. But that power only lands when people feel confident using it — when it fits the way they already work and the goals they are already chasing.
Rize Skill Training exists to make that happen. We bring practical, accessible technology education to individuals and organizations across Vancouver and the Greater Vancouver area — with a focus on the communities, entrepreneurs, and creatives who have the most to gain and have historically had the least support in getting there.
We are technology guides, not technology salespeople. We help people find the tools that actually fit their work, build the skills to use them well, and free up more time for the impact only they can make. The tech is not the thing. Making our communities stronger is the thing.
What we offer.
Our programs run across two tracks and are available as workshops, multi-session courses, and one-on-one teaching. Every program is built around real outcomes — things you can do, build, or launch when you leave.
Digital Confidence
Everyday technology skills for people who want to feel more in control online.
For seniors, newcomers, and anyone ready to get more comfortable with the technology they use every day.
Stay Safe Online
Protect yourself from scams, phishing, and AI-powered threats.
For community members, seniors, and anyone who wants to feel safer and more in control of their digital life.
Future-Proof Your Career
Get hired, stay competitive, and build a professional presence that works for you — using AI and modern tools.
For job seekers, career changers, newcomers entering the Canadian workforce, and anyone ready to take their next step.
AI and Modern Workflows
Spend more time on the work only you can do. Let technology handle the rest.
For entrepreneurs, nonprofit staff, creatives, and small business owners ready to build smarter, faster workflows.
All programs are available through funded community partnerships and on a public schedule. Every program can be tailored to specific groups, industries, and skill levels.
Funded partnerships — bringing programs to your community at little or no cost.
Provincial and federal programs are actively funding digital skills and AI upskilling training for specific communities right now. We help you identify the funding that applies to your organization, handle the program design and facilitation, and deliver a workshop or course your community genuinely benefits from — often at little or no cost to you.
We work with community organizations, nonprofits, Indigenous-led groups, Black community organizations, libraries, employment centers, and social service agencies across Vancouver and the surrounding area.
You bring the community. We bring the program, the facilitation, and the funding strategy.

You keep the momentum
Every program comes with resources participants can reference independently. For organizations, we are available for follow-up support, ongoing training, or next-step programs.
We also build websites and workflows.
Beyond training, we build websites, automation systems, and digital marketing solutions for community organizations, nonprofits, small businesses, and entrepreneurs in Vancouver — professional results, accessible process, clear pricing.
Built in East Vancouver. Rooted in community.
Rize Skill Training was founded by an AI specialist and educator with over 20 years of experience — and a deep personal commitment to the communities of East Vancouver and the Greater Vancouver area.
We are grateful to live and work on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
