Simply put, NAIT’s Advanced Skills Centre is the right solution at the right time.

We have a real opportunity to tackle Alberta’s skilled labour shortage.

Steve Lenarduzzi, President of Clark Builders

Located on Treaty 6 Territory on the north side of Main Campus, the Centre will be the foundation on which Albertans build the skillsets to accelerate Alberta. As the home to a transformative, diverse, and inclusive skills training experience, the Centre will:

• Increase connectivity between programs to better simulate the realities of the workplace, providing students with a broader understanding of workplace dynamics and how their chosen career intersects with other professions

• Adapt to deliver new programs and skills, including upskilling and reskilling, to support changes in  labour market demand

• Provide a more flexible and adaptable learning space to meet the evolving needs and demands of industry

• Serve as a vibrant hub for K-12 partners, community groups, and industry to showcase trades and technology careers to the next generation of learners including under-represented groups

• Transform our existing skilled trades and technology infrastructure by expanding and enhancing the ability of current programs to integrate new technologies and to create operational efficiencies
