Catch up quarterly with NAIT’s online magazine
During a year at techlifetoday, we share well over 100 stories, covering innovative research projects, student and alumni successes, news about NAIT, and more. Now, we have a new way of making sure that you never miss out on the best of it.
This spring marks the beginning of our participation in Read Alberta, a resource dedicated to telling Alberta stories produced by local magazines and other publishers. It’s shared through the provincial library system.
Volume 1, Issue 1 of the techlifetoday Anthology covers the unique impacts grads make in their communities, shares some poignant and pointed advice from a trades instructor, and highlights a project aimed at solving a longstanding sustainability challenge.
Check back with us around the change of each season for future issues. If you like what you see, sign up for our newsletter to get the latest NAIT content every month. Thanks for reading!
