12-week online cloud upskilling for IT teams

Your IT team is ready for more. Let's get them there.

Cloud Upskilling is a 12-week online training program for IT, systems and network staff already working at Alberta employers. Enrolling your team is simpler than it looks. In 12 weeks your staff build practical cloud administration skills, on Microsoft Azure or on AWS, while they keep working. Eligible Alberta employers can apply for the Canada-Alberta Productivity Grant, and we help you every step of the way. The program is for staff currently employed in IT or systems roles at an Alberta employer. It is not a job-placement or career-change program.
