Read about topics from previous years of Annual Pathways Meetings

Starting in 2017, the Alberta Transfer System and its cross-jurisdictional partners began to bring stakeholders together to discuss common goals for learner pathways and mobility.

2019-2023 Annual Pathways Meeting

Given the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and pending Alberta Advanced Education guidance regarding ACAT governance and next steps, the Alberta Annual Pathways Meeting was temporarily paused from 2019/2020 - 2022/23. Learner pathways and transferability have been identified as one of the ministry’s priorities, with next steps for system direction and governance to be informed by Alberta 2030: Building Skills for Jobs and its initiatives in the near future. The ACAT Secretariat/Learner Pathways staff within Alberta Advanced Education continue to administer the work of ACAT and facilitate Alberta Transfer System and learner pathways operations. The Secretariat is pleased to resume the Annual Pathways Meeting as a part of system operations.
