## Resource

Alberta’s pouring $148.4 million over three years to create 8,000 new post-secondary spots in high-demand fields like engineering, nursing, tech, and trades—targeting institutions from the University of Alberta to NAIT and Calgary. The move aims to bridge critical workforce gaps as the economy shifts, with some programs launching this fall. But critics argue it’s too little, too late—blaming past funding cuts for today’s shortages—and question whether this investment truly addresses long-term needs.
