What does Canada's AI future look like? It looks like applied research projects solving real industry challenges. It looks like students gaining hands-on experience with emerging technologies. And it looks like polytechnics helping businesses adopt and implement AI solutions today. In our latest video, leaders from @SaskPolytech, @SenecaPoly and @sheridancollege share how polytechnics are advancing Canada's AI ambitions and driving innovation across key sectors. 🎥 Watch here: polytechnicscanada.ca/resour…

Congratulations to @SaskPolytech on launching Saskatchewan's first-ever Respiratory Therapy program and welcoming its inaugural cohort this fall. Supported by more than $8 million from the Government of Saskatchewan, the program gives students access to new state-of-the-art respiratory therapy labs and specialized equipment, ensuring they develop industry-specific knowledge and train with the same technology they will use in the workplace from day one. An important milestone for health-care education in the province and a great example of how applied learning is helping meet Saskatchewan's growing health-care needs. 🎉 Learn more: saskpolytech.ca/news/posts/2…

How can technology support safer and more resilient Northern communities? @SaskPolytech 's Digital Integration Centre of Excellence is working with Alpha-EL Inc., a northern First Nations-owned company developing remote surveillance systems. The collaboration applies engineering and data expertise to wildlife monitoring, wildfire detection and flood-risk assessment in the Yukon. It is a strong example of Indigenous-led innovation supported by polytechnic research capacity, combining local priorities with technology that can strengthen environmental monitoring, land stewardship and emergency preparedness.

Last week, Polytechnics Canada and the Presidents of Canada’s top polytechnic institutions met with Minister @PattyHajdu for an important conversation about strengthening Canada’s skills system and ensuring Canadians have the training they need to succeed in a changing economy. We discussed four key priorities: - Recognizing the central role of polytechnics in Team Canada Strong and in apprenticeship training, attraction and retention - Embedding polytechnics in Workforce Alliances so they are grounded in current employer needs, relevant curriculum and existing training capacity - Making mid-career upskilling more accessible - Building a coordinated defence-skills system that uses existing civilian training capacity Canada’s leading polytechnic institutions are ready to work with the federal government, employers and communities to turn these priorities into practical pathways for Canadians and to help build the skilled workforce Canada needs for a strong, resilient future. Thank you to Minister Hajdu for the opportunity to advance this important conversation. @AlgonquinColleg @bcit @ConestogaC @FanshaweCollege @GBPolytech @HumberPoly @KwantlenU @NAIT @RRC @SaskPolytech @SenecaPoly @sheridancollege @sait

Congratulations to @SaskPolytech on this incredible investment in the future of education and early childhood learning! Polytechnics Canada applauds Wally and Colleen Mah, co-owners of @northridgeyxe , for their generous $500,000 gift to the Time to Rise campaign for the new Joseph A. Remai Saskatoon Campus. Their support will help create the North Ridge Creativity Zone and provide Early Childhood Education students with an inspiring space to learn, create and prepare for the next generation. Philanthropic leadership like this makes a lasting difference in our communities. Thank you for investing in students, innovation and the future of Canada’s workforce!
