EDMONTON Alberta s advanced education minister has tabled a bill to bring in more apprenticeships for students in the trades. Demetrios Nicolaides called the current
Apprenticeship and Industry Training Act, introduced in 1991, dated and restrictive. He also said it makes updating curricula or designating new trades difficult. If passed, his
Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship Education Act would aim to expand apprenticeship options to new careers, change how trades are regulated, and help retain Albertans post pandemic. It was built with the recommendations from the Skills for Jobs Task Force and in line with the government s Alberta 2030 objectives. Alberta s government will begin a comprehensive, multi-year effort to expand apprenticeships into new careers, Nicolaides said Tuesday.
