As Alberta grows and changes, so does the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT).
And that means that its educational offerings develop and adapt to the needs of industry, the shape of the economy, and the ambitions of students seeking to enter the workforce or elevate their positions within it.
And as part of its latest educational offerings, NAIT has added the Advanced Carpentry Technology diploma, a program designed to equip students with the technical and career-ready skills necessary to succeed in the construction industry.
“We are focused on being industry’s trusted partner,” says Peter Leclaire, NAIT’s vice-president academic. “Part of that is making sure our programs are aligned and relevant – both because it creates opportunities for students and helps support the businesses that drive our economy.”
The two-year program does not require attendees to be registered apprentices yet offers all the theory and hands-on learning grads will need to thrive in the field. The diploma also serves as a pathway to apprenticeship and journeyperson certification.
