The Royal Alberta College’s #FREE:LEARN Initiative was created through extensive industry-led research and 160 years of collective experience in providing educational and career guidance. The Registrar’s Office formed relationships with key industry stakeholders, NGOs and governmental organizations, forming ad-hoc committees consisting of highly skilled professionals representing all stakeholders on a volunteer basis. These committees provided their expertise, identified gaps within various employment sectors. They collaborated to create a solution to fill the needs of their sectors by delivering education, mentorship, job training, and guidance in a non-confrontational, culturally sensitive, inclusive and supportive environment by creating a foundation of trust for all invested stakeholders providing high-quality training to learners.
