Calgary in the New Economy
The LearningCITY Collective and Calgary’s Skills Development Framework are anchored in Calgary in the New Economy. Calgary in the New Economy is the economic strategy for Calgary. This strategy sets out a bold, ambitious vision for Calgary’s long-term economic prosperity.
To be the place where bright minds and big ideas come together with an unmatched spirit to help solve global challenges.
Calgary in the New Economy recognizes that the prosperity of a community comes from its people. It challenges us to 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 skills and are ahead of change, not chasing it. A city that attracts talent and investment from across the globe because it’s not only resilient but also embraces change as an opportunity.
To deliver this vision, Calgary in the New Economy defines a strategic framework comprised of five connected drivers to develop a future-proof, sustainable economy for our city.
Talent. Driving Calgary in the New Economy
“The economic prosperity of a community comes from its people. Calgary is a people first city. ”
Talent is a central driver to Calgary in the New Economy. The plan establishes three priorities:
Be a welcoming city where everyone can grow their careers.
Provide adaptive, future-focused learning opportunities that empower life-long skills development.
Attract people who want to make a difference, create solutions and change the world.
The LearningCITY Collective is thankful to our many community supporters.
