Welcome to Skillcity.
Skillcity Institute is a social impact organization founded in 2015 in Edmonton, Alberta. Our goal is to empower children, youth, and adults from underrepresented and under-resourced communities in Canada, through initiatives that enhance their socioeconomic development and well-being.
We partner with social service organizations, education providers, local businesses, and diverse community stakeholders, to create economic development pathways for Canadians through programs that foster work skills development, entrepreneurial culture and life-long learning.
Our career education and experiential learning model ensures that all individuals have equal opportunity to pursue enriching careers and reach their full economic potential.
