Province adds 400 new post-secondary program seats in the growing tech sector
LETHBRIDGE – The provincial government has added 400 new post-secondary seats this September to keep pace with the province’s diversifying economy.
Working with post-secondary institutions in Edmonton, Calgary and Lethbridge, the province is helping more students access training opportunities that will lead to employment in the tech sector in Alberta.
Most additional seats are being added to existing tech-related post-secondary programs that offer certificates, diploma or degrees and are one to two years in duration.
Lethbridge College received approval for 19 additional seats in its Computer Information Technology program as part of the government’s plan.
