Despite Alberta having the highest proportion of engineering graduates in the country, demand is still increasing for spots in the province’s postsecondary institutions.

Lisa Davis, the founder of STEM Innovation Academy, expressed concern that the level of competition may push AB students to go elsewhere in Canada for their education.
