🎓 Introducing HoST’s ESG Certificate + Chatbot Beta
We’re excited to officially announce the Beta launch of the HoST ESG Certificate Program — alongside our brand-new AI-powered chatbot to support internationally trained accountants in navigating Canada’s green finance landscape.
This Beta marks a major step forward in our mission to upskill global accounting talent for the Canadian market, with a special focus on sustainability, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, and carbon accounting.
📚 What’s Live Today
As of this week, users can now:
- ✅ Enroll in a structured, 4-module Certificate Program, built specifically for accountants who want to understand Canadian ESG reporting, carbon accounting frameworks, sustainable finance, and how to advise SMEs on sustainability practices.
- 💬 Use an AI chatbot, powered by DeepSeek, to ask quick questions about ESG terms, career pathways in Canada, and green finance concepts — no commitment required.
Whether you’re ready to dive deep with formal training or just curious and exploring, you can start your journey on your terms.
🧭 Why We Built This
We’ve spoken to hundreds of accountants, advisors, and employers over the past year — and the message was clear: ESG is here to stay, and international professionals want to be part of it.
But the resources to actually understand Canadian ESG frameworks? Hard to find.
Training that respects international qualifications and focuses on real-world use cases? Even harder.
So we built this.
We’ve kept it simple, practical, and focused on helping you gain the knowledge and confidence you need — not just to passively understand ESG, but to actually use it in the work you do.
🚀 What’s Next
This is just the Beta — but it’s already fully usable, and we’re improving it based on feedback every week.
We’ll be adding:
- More downloadable tools and templates
- A dashboard to track your progress
- Live office hours and advisory support (coming soon)
- Micro-certifications for specific ESG skills
We’re also inviting firms and employers to get involved and help shape the future of this platform.
