The annual system meeting resumed November 20, 2024 in a virtual format after a pause between 2019-2023 due to the pandemic and other factors. Participants joined the sessions at this Alberta and cross-jurisdictional Transfer System event centered around collaboration and information sharing.

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.
