Results: Leadership through applied learning
Rocky View County, a municipal district in southern Alberta with a population of about 41,000, has been partnering with SAIT in the delivery of talent development for more than a decade.
The courses and the training strategy support the County’s learning and development mandate: to drive continuous learning and performance improvement and to optimize employee learning experiences.
“We’ve heard the training is a real highlight,” says Carolyn Jonsson, Learning and Organizational Development Advisor, at Rocky View County. “It’s a strong engagement piece for people at the County.
“There’s a really strong focus on applied learning — on seeing a clear line of sight between the training and how the knowledge, tools and skills acquired apply to the workplace and the department.”
Since 2018, almost 170 Rocky View County employees have signed on for non-mandatory training programs ranging from technology, productivity, communication and customer service to leadership development through an Applied Management Certificate.

Results: connectFirst finds an edge with the right training
Clare Clarke has undergone a lot of training throughout her career. But she knew immediately there was something special about the “Leading Beyond Any Title” training she received last year from SAIT.
“It went beyond the typical training and tapped into the emotional intelligence side of business. Once you’re making that connection, you’re flipping everything on its head and creating a different lens to look at any situation,” says Ms. Clarke, Director of Learning and Growth at Calgary-based connectFirst Credit Union. “For me, this stands out.”
Companies are always looking for an edge. They’re challenged to enhance performance, boost productivity, reduce turnover and improve their culture. Investing strategically in corporate training can help to address all of these goals.
Ms. Clarke loved her SAIT experience so much that she has spent months working with the facilitators to tailor leadership learning for the rest of her financial teams. This past spring, groups of up to 25 employees from connectFirst began a six-month SAIT training session.
“I’m confident that we’re going to have a different result than we’ve probably ever had when we’ve done any leadership training,” Ms. Clarke says.
Leadership development is partly about understanding different communication styles and ways to approach a challenge. That makes the emotional intelligence component especially important for any business and certainly in her business, says Clare Clarke, Director of Learning and Growth at connectFirst.
