News
The Continuing Education department is currently working with Insightrix Research out of Saskatoon to conduct a Market Analysis of potential opportunities in and around Southern Alberta for growth and development. Between November and January, Insightrix will be conducting interviews with potential partner organizations to find out what their needs are in the professional and career development areas. They will also be conducting surveys on behalf of the Continuing Education department of the employees of these companies (with permission). Alumni of the University of Lethbridge will also be receiving an invitation to participate in a survey to let us know what opportunities exist in their fields that the University of Lethbridge might be able to assist with. We hope that those who receive this survey will take a few minutes to help provide feedback.
