Enoh Akpan

 Enoh Akpan works at the intersection of competency-based education, AI-integrated feedback, and labour-market alignment, translating academic work into employer-ready capability. At Ontario Tech, he leads the development of a university-wide competency framework, builds skills-translation tools that connect learning outcomes to market demand, and delivers AI and prompt-engineering workshops across the institution. He has guided more than 150 graduate students from 44 countries in converting client-linked capstone research into demonstrable professional competencies, and he serves on three Program Advisory Committees at Ontario Tech, advising on curriculum relevance and experiential learning design.

With Ontario Tech Continuous Learning, Enoh teaches AI Essentials for Lifelong Learners, grounding the course in practical, workflow-level application rather than abstraction. At Carleton University’s Technology Innovation Management (TIM) program, he is a Contract Instructor for TIMG 5203 (Cross-Border Businesses and Digital Innovation), a graduate course he co-developed and co-facilitated with the late Professor Tony Bailetti, and he continues to design AI-enabled course material for the program. His wider teaching at Carleton spans a Prompt Engineering course for graduate students and industry professionals, a mini-course series on AI and venture creation for Ottawa high-school students, and an AI foundations series for Carleton’s LLEAP lifelong-learning program. His earlier work includes R&D initiatives for Ottawa technology companies and the public “Up Our Game Canada” toolkit on mitigating cross-border tariff risk.

Enoh’s scholarship extends his graduate research into practitioner-facing work: he is preparing a journal manuscript, Value Architecture for EV Battery Health Management, for submission to the Technology Innovation Management Review. He holds a Master in Technology Innovation Management (Entrepreneurship) and a Certificate in University Teaching from Carleton University, a B.Sc. in Accounting, and the Associate Chartered Accountant (ICAN) designation. His methods and tools include translational research, mixed-methods evaluation, R, Canvas, Brightspace, and generative AI. Earlier roles include Business Innovation Research at Volterra Tech, where he analyzed 1,500+ customer reviews to surface market-valued features for product positioning, and Finance & Operations Manager at CapitalCorp/FUNDiT Ltd., with responsibility for financial reporting, audits, and stakeholder engagement.
