Alberta Hotel & Lodging Association, Associate Member 2026

Practical education for Alberta's hospitality teams

InceptionU builds the technical and problem-solving capability your property needs, from cybersecurity and AI to critical thinking and communication. AHLA members save 10% on every program with code AHLA10.

Why this matters for hotels

The risks your property actually faces.

Guest data is a target.

Properties hold payment cards, ID scans, loyalty records, and property management system access, spread across shifts and seasonal staff. Cybersecurity Foundations gives front-line and management staff the habits to catch the most common attacks before they land.

AI is already in your inbox.

Staff are using AI tools whether or not there is a policy. AI Foundations gets your team using them well, and knowing where not to.

Short enough to actually attend.

Three-hour live sessions your team can absorb between shifts, not weeks away from the property.

Funding

Alberta employers can be reimbursed for eligible programs.

The Canada-Alberta Productivity Grant (CAPG) reimburses part of the cost of eligible employee programming after it's complete. Current employees are reimbursed 50% (up to $5,000/employee/year); unemployed people or new hires under 30 days are reimbursed 75% (up to $10,000). The employer pays 100% up front, and the application must be filed before the program starts, roughly 30 days ahead.

Cybersecurity Foundations (Oct 14)

File by mid-September

That's roughly 30 days out from the session date.

AI Foundations (Sep 30)

File by late August

This cohort is coming up fast. Start your application now if you're considering it.

CAPG eligible

  • Cybersecurity Foundations
  • The Cybersecurity Launchpad (and its streams)
  • AI Foundations Session
  • AI in the Wild

Not eligible

  • Talent Landscaping
  • Transformation Design
  • Standalone MetaSkills or leadership programming

CAPG excludes leadership development, soft skills, coaching, consulting, and conferences, and covers instructor-led programming only. InceptionU does not administer this grant and cannot guarantee approval. Eligibility, deadlines, and reimbursement rates are set by the Government of Alberta. Confirm current rules on the official CAPG page before applying.

Looking at capability more broadly?

Talent Landscaping

Talent Landscaping helps organizations map the skills they have against the ones they'll need, so growth decisions are based on a clear picture, not a guess.

Not CAPG eligible.

InceptionU has been an AHLA Associate Member since February 2026, and the partnership continues to grow.
