It's super important to think about opportunities to upgrade your skills and be flexible...if you want to invest in development skills and are willing to work your ass off...you can look at https://lighthouselabs.ca/

There is also a Alberta Job grant that will pay 100% of retraining expenses (up to $15k) if a company hires an unemployed person and wants to retrain them...http://www.albertacanada.com/opportu.../jobgrant.aspx


It might be less work to upgrade skills and have options then to chase the jobs for your existing skill set...

Best of luck
If your looking for a classroom of sorts, lighthouse has a good program if your looking to pivot towards dev-ops or developer.

Alternatively, look into one of the udacity nano-degrees. They partner with some large tech companies, hire people who take their courses, and generally do a good job of providing a quality education.
