Saskatoon, SK — TrackPoint AI and the Edwards School of Business at the University of Saskatchewan have partnered to integrate AI-powered communication simulations into the Edwards MBA curriculum. The collaboration is designed to give MBA students a structured, on-demand environment to practice and refine their professional communication skills.
About the Partnership
Through this partnership, Edwards MBA students will have access to TrackPoint AI’s simulation platform, which allows learners to practice a range of professional communication scenarios with AI characters that respond dynamically in real time. The integration will support students in two primary areas: executive presentation practice and business roleplay scenarios.
For presentations, students will be able to deliver presentations, answer simulated audience questions, and receive feedback on their delivery. For roleplay, the platform will cover a range of high-context business situations, including negotiations and complex financial discussions such as transfer pricing. These are the kinds of conversations that require not just technical knowledge, but composure, clarity, and strategic communication.
The simulations are designed to be self-directed and repeatable. Students can practice independently, on their own schedule, without needing to coordinate with instructors or wait for scheduled class time. The goal is to give learners a low-stakes environment to build the communication habits they will draw on throughout their careers.

What Edwards Faculty Are Saying
TrackPoint AI is a practical tool that helps students build confidence before stepping into high‑stakes professional environments. By embedding this technology into our MBA curriculum, students can practice presentations in a realistic setting, respond to simulated live questions, receive detailed feedback and refine their delivery. This supports more inclusive learning and ensures our graduates are ready to communicate with clarity and authority. TrackPoint AI is great example of how the USask entrepreneurial ecosystem, in particular Opus, SIGMA and the Slogotski Hunt Centre for Entrepreneurship, can support start ups.

A Model Other Institutions and Organizations Can Follow
The Edwards partnership reflects a broader opportunity for universities, professional schools, and corporate training teams that are looking for scalable ways to develop communication skills beyond the traditional classroom. Whether it’s a law program preparing students for client-facing negotiations, an executive education cohort working on leadership presence, or a sales organization building a consistent approach to complex client conversations, the need for structured, repeatable communication practice exists across sectors.
TrackPoint AI’s platform can be configured for virtually any professional communication scenario. It integrates into existing curricula and training programs without requiring major redesigns, and gives learners a practice environment they can return to independently.
