Campus Alberta is the natural progression of established partnerships in our system. Alberta graduates get jobs, and employers find the talented employees they need. Alberta post-secondary institutions are working together as shown by the many transfer agreements among institutions and shared program delivery arrangements. The provincial government invests in collaboration in the post-secondary system by providing funding for collaboration projects, research, technology and consultations. The research performed at Alberta universities is nationally ranked.
Resources are limited.
While adult learning is a priority for Albertans, all priorities compete for public funding. By working together, we use those resources efficiently. We need our institutions to compete with the world, not with each other. We need to ensure Albertans have access to quality lifelong learning, and a variety of delivery options. We need a pool of talented researchers to create the ideas behind tomorrow's profitable products and technologies.
