Alberta — May 16, 2022 – In celebration of Skills Canada Alberta’s 30 year long relationship with Alberta’s teachers and instructors, we are celebrating some of the Skills Champions among our community – our Sturdy 30. This award is to recognize teachers and instructors who go above and beyond to prepare their students for the world of work that awaits them in trade and technology areas. We are so proud to announce our Sturdy 30 – the teachers and instructors who go the extra mile to have a lasting impact on their students.
“Alberta’s teachers and instructors are crucial to the success of our future work force. They provide the expertise and support students need to pursue their goals. For 30 years Skills Canada Alberta has been fortunate to work with the most passionate and dedicated teachers in the province, and we look forward to continuing to work collaboratively in providing platforms for exploration and skill development to Alberta’s youth.”
