Show Notes
Northern Alberta colleges face tough cuts due to lower enrollment and budgets, with NorQuest College trimming 100 positions and the University of Alberta making strategic reductions. These moves come after relying heavily on international students, who saw a 65% drop in approvals due to federal immigration caps. While some schools like NAIT have no major changes planned, the focus shifts to drawing more local students and building stable revenue, potentially reshaping access to education in the region.
