LearningCITY 2023. Connecting Calgary's Talent Community. 

Imagine a city whose citizens think creatively, adapt, and thrive in this fast-changing world. A city where bright minds come together to dream big, start an adventure, and build something great. A city where people proactively develop new skills and are ahead of change, not chasing it. Imagine a city that attracts talent and investment from across the globe because it’s known as a city that is not only resilient but a city that embraces change, a city that learns. This is a LearningCITY.

Transforming Calgary into a LearningCITY demands that we rethink learning and recognize that learning extends beyond a classroom and is embedded where we work, live, and play. This forces us to redefine how we assess and value talent. This requires us to harness Calgary’s rich and diverse learning-employment ecosystem, encompassing 3,000 learning organizations and 55,000 employers.

This is why the theme for LearningCITY 2023 is Connecting Calgary’s Talent Community.

Committed to Action

At LearningCITY 2022, the LearningCITY Collective and our community partners released Calgary’s Skills Development Framework. This framework was the culmination of four years of community consultation. 

The framework is anchored to four drivers: adaptable, accessible, empowered, and open. Each priority is defined as a series of specific priorities and actions.
