    Align the pre-employment program costs for students in Alberta’s K-12 system with those incurred by post-secondary students.

    Fund the growth of CAREERS: the Next Generation’s work to collaborate with public and separate school divisions to include student participation in off-campus programs, particularly expanding opportunities to connect youth with paid internships." — unitedconservative.ca, retrieved 2023-05-24

NDP
  • Provide up to $200M for a downtown Calgary campus

Presently, NAIT trains around 8,600 apprentices annually, but with projected growth, Alberta is expected to require 51,000 new apprentices within the next three years." — Building a Better Future for Edmonton, retrieved 2023-05-22
