Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship Education Act (STAEA)
In 2021, the Alberta Government enacted the new Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship Education Act. With this act they have opened opportunity for significant changes to how apprentices will be trained. The ATCC Board is engaged in multiple stakeholder consultations to ensure construction trade apprentices continue to be trained to the high standards our members have come to expect.
