ACE NETWORK’S GREATEST SOURCE OF STRENGTH: Growing Roster of Members and Partners

ACE is a growing network of individuals and organizations committed to working together to improve career education and development for all young Albertans. Together, the members and partners of the network will work to build a stronger career development culture throughout the province and beyond.

The Alberta Career Education Network (formerly known as Alberta Career Prep Consortium, founders of the popular Tech Prep program and credential) will be incorporated as a not for profit society and governed by a nine member board of directors. The board will be comprised of accomplished leaders drawn from the following constituencies: business and industry, community organizations, education, government, national & international career organizations.

All ACE members will be provided with the opportunity to participate on the Alberta Career Education Network Advisory Council. The Council, comprised of individuals from across the province and representing a wide array of diverse organizations, will be practitioner focused. Council dialogue and work will be organized for the benefit of participants and the audiences they serve.

ACE Network services were created to meet the changing needs of Alberta and Albertans.
