Your multiple initiatives, upcoming events, and fundraising activities are overwhelming. Admins are losing track and multi-tasking is causing burnout. The status quo is not sustainable and the team needs to adapt with new ways of working and tighter business processes. - **A construction company sends its supervisors to AI tools training** You run a construction or trades company. Your crews are good, but every job juggles a dozen subcontractors, change orders, and a schedule that slips one day at a time. Your project managers live in spreadsheets after hours.

You need everyone working from one visible plan and to automate repetitive tasks. **CAPG** ## **About the CAPG program** CAPG is funded by the federal and provincial government to support training for your current staff and for people you plan to hire.
