SAIT is renowned for providing high-calibre education in more than 30 trades. We combine formal classroom instruction with hands-on apprenticeship education in our state-of-the-art shops.
Our apprentice students experience success largely due to:
- our industry relationships, providing opportunities for job shadowing, internships, and mentoring programs
- three state-of-the-art campuses that include the tools and equipment needed to put learned skills into practice
- a 1:13 instructor-to-student ratio in the shop, with class sizes varying between 24 to 30 students in theory classrooms
- our student-first mentality, with student support services and resources readily available
- opportunities for students to participate in competitions like Skills Alberta, Skills competitions (trade and technology) and culinary challenges worldwide.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
