The Future Skills Centre (FSC) is investing $14.3M into 13 projects that prioritize taking innovative approaches to skills development. The projects focus on increasing worker mobility and supporting the business adaptability of small- to medium-sized businesses. This investment will support training in areas such as construction work, auto work, AI, skills development and job support, and culturally responsive training for Indigenous workers. Institutions receiving funding include the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, Royal Roads University, the University of Alberta, and the University Health Network. “We’re identifying solutions that work and this investment will help us expand those innovations to reach more people in more regions,” said FSC Executive Director Noel Baldwin.
