We train the REAL PEOPLE who get the REAL WORK done

The world of work is changing fast. We need new skill sets and technical capabilities to help our industries, communities, and economies not only keep up, but grow and thrive. While we can’t predict what tomorrow will look like, we can prepare our students to succeed within this constant change.

Together, we're creating wide-open possibilities and endless opportunities — we're creating real futures.

TOGETHER let’s step up to the possibilities of tomorrow.

By fall 2027, we will raise $150 million to transform who, how and what we teach. We're closer than ever, but there is still important work ahead. With your support, we can expand access to education, enhance hands-on learning and ensure students graduate ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of a changes world. The vision is bold. The need is real. And the opportunity to make a lasting impact is now.

Our industries need tomorrow’s talent, today.

That’s why we teach more than theory, we equip our students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in an ever-evolving world. Real Futures focuses on strengthening Alberta's workforce and communities by reimagining how we teach, who we teach and what we prepare graduates to do.

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.
