BCGI’s training initiatives deploy Canada’s expertise and leadership in coastal and marine research, technology, and innovation to solve the ocean’s most pressing challenges across emerging markets and developing economies. Using a wide range of hybrid approaches, we leverage and pool Canada’s vast ocean and marine resources and expertise to supports skills development and technology solutions in the sustainable blue economy. 

We provide professional training, executive education, certification programs, workshops, and applied learning opportunities designed to equip individuals and organizations with the tools required to succeed in a rapidly evolving global economy. Our programs serve a diverse range of stakeholders, including government officials, industry professionals, entrepreneurs, researchers, community leaders, students, and development practitioners. 

Among others, training areas include ocean governance, marine resource management, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, climate adaptation, blue finance, project management, innovation and entrepreneurship, venture development, data analytics, policy development, and emerging technologies. We emphasize practical, evidence-based learning that can be directly applied to real-world challenges and opportunities.
