Calgary's Skills Framework

The City that Never Stops Learning

Confronting Calgary’s talent challenge extends beyond the capacity of any single government level, educational institution, sector, or employer.

In 2022, the LearningCITY Collective released the Calgary Skills Development Framework. This framework was the culmination of four-years of research, engaging hundreds of community stakeholders. This framework is a living and dynamic vision owned by every talent seeker, developer, talent steward, and learner in our city. It is anchored to four drivers: adaptable, accessible, empowered, and open.
