In this chapter, Watt examines the recent state of post-secondary education policy directions in Alberta, Canada. Evidence suggests that enactments, updates, and replacements of provincial educational policies (i.e., apprenticeship and other acts, standardized apprenticeship curricula elimination, skilled trade deregulation, micro-credential initiatives) are intended to provide quick, easy, and employable skills. Yet, removing oversight of post-secondary education programming and curriculum creates the potential for isolated skill sets, non-recognized credentials, and minimal articulation between certificates, diplomas, and degrees, Although, as shown throughout this chapter, Watt establishes the connections between this province’s policy developments to notable policies entrenched in other provinces (i.e., British Columbia and Ontario) and countries (i.e., New Zealand and Europe). It is how policies are transferred to the Alberta context that raises questions about learners’ smart education and economic futures.
