Vocational education and training - VET

In addition to the industry partners, the Alberta government provides the legislative framework and the administrative support to the apprenticeship and industry training system. Technical institutes and colleges provide the technical training for apprentices. The Board‟s primary responsibility is to set the standards and requirements for training and certification in programs under the Act. It takes a leadership role with industry in the discussion of major issues that affect the apprenticeship and industry training system. http://www.tradesecrets.gov.ab.ca/forms_publications/other_resources/pdf/committee_handbook.pdf
