Moving forward…

Government is committed to working with our institutions and students to create a roadmap that will carry us into the future. This roadmap –or draft letters of expectation – will be developed collaboratively with institutional leadership and students groups.

This is an opportunity for post-secondary institutions and students groups to lead the process to clarify the roles and identify opportunities for further partnerships within Campus Alberta and between Campus Alberta and industry.

This won’t happen overnight. There will be some immediate changes that can be made to improve our system but deliberate, thoughtful change takes time. Many of the ideas identified through this process will be accomplished over a number of years.
