Surging demand for skilled workers keeps Alberta college in a perpetual expansion

If there’s one thing everyone seems to agree on, it’s that there is no single solution to Alberta’s desperate labour situation. Nearly 400,000 jobs will be created in Alberta in the next 10 years, but only 300,000 new workers will enter the labour market at the current rate.
Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Edmonton produces 17% of national tradespersons and 50% of all those located in Alberta. The high demand of skilled trades and eventual shortfall of locally grown young Canadians entering this sector of the workforce means that the skilled trades will have to be found from overseas.
