CTS Funding
Skills Canada Alberta, is proud to be a part of the Government of Alberta's announcment
of $14 million to school jurisdictions for equipment upgrades to more than 100 CTS
labs throughout the province. Out of the province’s 62 school boards and authorities,
a total of 53 proposals (some containing multiple lab project upgrades) were submitted
and approved for funding.
“Enhancing CTS options for our students opens a wide variety of opportunities
to become part of Alberta’s skilled and knowledgeable workforce,” said Education
Minister Dave Hancock. “Such training is essential to support the province’s industries
and improve the long-run sustainability of our economy.”
"This partnership between Skills Canada Alberta and the government complements
innovative strategies such as regional skills centres and mobile CTS labs,” said
Hancock. “Education will also be working with the ministries of Advanced Education
and Technology and Employment and Immigration to further enhance CTS delivery, accessibility
and students’ transitions into their chosen careers.”
