Great news for students in Alberta! The province is expanding its collegiate schools as the demand for skilled workers continues to grow. With a whopping $27.5 million investment, Alberta’s government aims to enhance education and create pathways to real-world careers.

What are collegiate schools? They’re special schools that connect classroom learning to hands-on experiences in various fields like science, technology, and aviation. In the upcoming 2025/26 school year, 16 new collegiate schools are set to open, offering specialized programs that cater to the needs of today’s job market.

These initiatives not only help students gain essential skills but also ease their path to post-secondary education or fulfilling careers afterward. The government is committed to helping young Albertans explore their options and secure a bright future—whether that's in the air or on the ground!
