KAST is proud to have partnered with Selkirk Innovates at Selkirk College on a project designed to strengthen the technology workforce in the Kootenay region.
This project was made possible through funding support from the Province of BC. A series of GIS and advanced computing training courses were developed and delivered, a regional technology assessment research project was implemented, applied research internships were funded to support the project, and the Regional Technology & Innovation strategy (link below) was developed.
Despite all the challenges faced, the Technology and Innovation Sector in the Kootenays is thriving and its future is bright!
