Training and Skills Development Database

Author/Contributor: SAIT, WSP, Alberta Ecotrust’s Retrofit Accelerator

Summary: 

This Training and Skills Development database is part of a larger project. It was produced to support the “Technologies and Skills Memo” for part of a market analysis by WSP, SAIT and Alberta Ecotrust’s Retrofit Accelerator.  This database catalogues educational and training opportunities relevant to deep energy retrofits. It covers:

• Post-secondary courses and certifications
• Industry-provided short courses and webinars
• Online and in-person offerings
• Alberta-based and national programs accessible to Albertans

Programs were included if they addressed at least one key skill or topic area necessary for deep retrofit work, such as building envelope design, energy auditing, solar PV installation, or embodied carbon analysis. For the full Excel file, click here. 

Note: Only programs active at some point between 2014 and early 2025 are included. Programs launched or ended after March 2025 are not yet captured.
