Alberta is spending $15 million more over three years to create 1,000 new apprenticeship spaces.
In total, the provincial government will spend $42 million in 2023-24 on Apprenticeship Learning Grants.
Government ministers touted the dollars as an important investment into both Alberta's post-secondary system and workforce. Kaycee Madu, minister of skilled trades and professions, told CTV News Edmonton there is a shortage of skilled workers not only in Alberta, but beyond, in the automotive, commercial transport and technology sectors.
"Our economy is growing. Alberta is leading the nation in economic growth and we want to make sure that the skilled workers we need are going to be there to help," Madu said."Apprenticeship education is an important part of our post-secondary system.
