Strategic Plan

NEW WORLD.
NEW THINKING.

2020 - 2025

Change has a champion

SAIT is changing and proud to be leading change — we didn’t get where we are by staying the same. We’re embarking on a new course for the future — one that builds on our 100+ year history to reimagine the workforce of tomorrow.

A workforce made by SAIT is armed with the mindset to lead and with the skills — technical and human — to create, to evolve, to make a difference.

Our course for the future embeds digital and leadership literacy across all programming includes continuous and flexible learning, offers industry experience and industry connections, develops hit-the-ground ready, future-proofed graduates.

Our roots are in Calgary, our ambition is global: to bring more of the world to SAIT and more of SAIT to the world — to be synonymous with people and practices that make things happen, that have a real and lasting impact.
