The Government of Alberta and Government of Saskatchewan recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding focused on cross-border apprenticeship registration for heavy-duty equipment technician apprentices. Specifically, the MOU will enable employers and apprentices on either side of the border in Lloydminster to register contracts of apprenticeship in either province, regardless of residence or employer location. SK stated that it will provide AB with financial compensation when SK apprentices register in AB. SK Immigration and Career Training Minister Eric Schmalz explained that the arrangement opens up more opportunities for SK residents looking to access training without putting SK employers at a disadvantage.
