Prairie Rose Public School announced in June 2026 the funding they secured to support their education in Aerospace and Skilled Trades.
The article reads, "Prairie Rose Public Schools (PRPS) has secured more than $3.6 million in provincial Collegiate funding to expand career focused learning opportunities and support workforce development initiatives in southeastern Alberta and Calgary.
More than $1.8 million will support the continued growth of the South Alberta Collegiate and South Alberta Flight Academy, including new pathways in Aircraft Structures, Avionics Technology, Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), Aviation Safety and Security, and advanced flight training. The expansion builds on Prairie Rose's established aviation programming and further strengthens southeastern Alberta's growing reputation as a hub for aviation, aerospace, and drone technology.
The investment brings together education, industry, and post secondary partners to help develop the skilled workforce needed to support Alberta's aerospace sector. Students will benefit from hands-on training, dual credit opportunities, industry recognized certifications, and direct connections to high demand careers."
For over three decades, Southeast Alberta has been a trailblazer in aerospace and defense, particularly in Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS).
