Olds College of Agriculture & Technology has announced that it is suspending intake for multiple programs due to the challenges posed by declining provincial funding and federal policy changes. The suspensions include programs in the areas of Agriculture Technology Integration, Business Management, Craft Beverage & Brewery Operations, and Hospitality & Tourism Management. “In order to navigate the growing demands and complex issues in the postsecondary system, we’ve been reviewing our program mix to ensure we align with industry needs, student demand and institutional priorities to ensure long-term stability for Olds College,” said Olds Interim President Debbie Thompson. Olds says that these suspensions are a “first step” in addressing the challenges faced by the college.
