About
A polytechnic is an innovative and entrepreneurial post-secondary institution, distinct from
universities and colleges in that it offers a skill-focused approach to learning.
From apprenticeships to baccalaureate degrees, full-time to part-time study, polytechnic
institutions offer a range of credentials in diverse program areas focused on experienceoriented training. Multidisciplinary and responsive to industry, polytechnic programs
provide students with the required knowledge and skills for a rewarding career.
Leaders in applied research and innovation, polytechnics work closely with industry,

regional and local organizations and community partners, providing access to leading-edge
knowledge, skills and resources.
Canada's polytechnics also offer diverse industry training products to corporations across
the country and around the world.
SAIT is a member of Polytechnics Canada, a national alliance of leading research-intensive,
publicly-funded colleges and institutes of technology dedicated to propelling business
innovation and creating jobs for tomorrow
