EDGE UP 2.0 is providing training for 320 professionals displaced from the structural change in the oil and gas sector for in demand jobs in Calgary’s digital economy. In 2021-2022, students were trained in data analytics, full stack software development, IT project management, product management with a specialization in digital marketing, cyber security, AWS cloud computing, and IT network management.
