About Southern Alberta Institute of Technology

Technology is who we are — it’s what we do. Officially known as the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), we’re a community of thinkers, creators and champions leading change and reimagining the workforce of tomorrow.

In 1916, our doors opened in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with 11 students and a mandate to train veterans returning from the First World War. Over the years, we’ve matched community needs — as a hospital during the Spanish Flu pandemic and as a Royal Canadian Air Force Wireless Training School during the Second World War.

Fast forward to today and SAIT’s action-based learning, solution-focused research and industry partnerships are helping to shape the next generation of inventors, entrepreneurs and pioneers.

- We equip students with essential skills for career success in industry. 91% of our grads get hired and 97% recommend a SAIT education.
- Whether looking to upskill or change careers, we enable lifetime learning through relevant, customized education.
- We enhance the global competitiveness of our students and region.
- With more than 11,000 industry partners, we blur the lines between industry and SAIT to strengthen the economy.
