**Ministry of Advanced Education**

Advanced Education supports Albertans by providing the education and training opportunities they need to prepare for the workforce. This is accomplished by: approving programs of study; funding public post-secondary institutions and other adult learning providers; providing financial aid for learners; and supporting academic research and innovation. Programs and services are driven by 3 outcomes: (1) Adult learning opportunities are accessible and affordable for all Albertans; (2) High-quality education, skills development and research make a positive contribution to Alberta’s economy, society, culture and environment; and (3) The adult learning system is accountable and coordinated.

The Strategic and Business Services division provides leadership and coordination for all aspects of the policy development cycle, intergovernmental relations, governance and legislative services, data and analytics, and the ministry’s corporate services functions.

- With support from the Strategic Issues Manager, acts as a liaison on issues and requests from the DMO, Minister's Office (MO), MCU, Communications, other ADMOs, and division staff.
- Assists in coordinating and gathering information from program areas for responses to DM, Minister, and ADM requests on an as needed and urgent basis.
- Coordinates divisional program and policy projects, including the implementation and evaluation of post-secondary institution annual reporting to ensure compliance with the Post-secondary Learning Act.
