PAGE is an acronym for Preparing Albertans for Generational Empowerment. This initiative seeks to collaborate with women-owned/led institutes and public institutions to provide the opportunity for women's professional advancement through the acquisition of free certificate courses.
In this initial phase of the PAGE Project, we have partnered with the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) to deliver FREE 30-hour micro-credentials and certificates or digital bootcamps to professional women who have been in a role too long and recognize that they require a new certification to advance, or women who are constrained by financial difficulty, or women who desire a career transition.
These new qualifications will be delivered through SAITs Continuing Education & Professional Studies Program and MUST BE AFFILIATED WITH THE DIGITAL SECTOR/SPACE.
Interested applicants will need to send a resume and the program of interest to this email: page@wtal.ca
The EMPOWER360 project is a youth-focused initiative targeted at increasing skill acquisition for those furthest from opportunities, towards achieving personal and professional success. Collaborations with organizations, that will constitute employer partners, are pivotal to its success.
