Between 2015 and 2020, Alberta’s economy is expected to add approximately 197,000 new jobs. In addition, over 50.0% of all new jobs are expected to require some form of learning beyond a high school education. Post-secondary education is a degree, certificate (including a trade certificate), or diploma from an educational institution beyond the secondary (high school) level. More education and training is expected to be a key to success in the new economy. Over the next five years, there will be a strong demand for occupations that need university degrees.
