SAIT Polytechnic’s Ready to Teach (RTT) program is offered to professionally and instructionally skilled newcomers, who can contribute to the development of the Canadian workforce by sharing their skills and knowledge in the post-secondary education system.
RTT is designed to help highly skilled newcomers with backgrounds in post-secondary instruction to enhance their language skills in order communicate effectively within the Canadian post-secondary system, and to gain the confidence necessary for presentation of self and technical concepts in front of a diverse group of learners.
The RTT program concentrates on professional language, cultural fit, practicum placement, workplace readiness training and coaching, labour-market analyses, and employment.
Completion of the program will assist the integration of participants into the Alberta post-secondary instructional labour force- an occupation equal to their formal training, abilities and past experience.
The program provides 60 hours of in-class work and an Instructional Skills Workshop.
Entrance Requirements:
n Instructionally experienced, professionally skilled immigrants with
a minimum Masters level graduates
n Demonstrate a CLB level 7 in all skill areas
n A willingness, desire and capacity to pursue an instructional
career
n Appropriate credentials/experience in the professional or technical
field in which they will be teaching
Program Dates: To be determined. Cost: $1,145.00

Environmental Technology provides students with a unique and focused combination of environmental technology and chemistry knowledge and skills. The program combines a laboratory orientation with a broad theoretical background to provide students with the skills needed to work in the lab or in the field as an environmental technologist. This program is currently only offered full-time; distance and continuing education options are not available. Each academic year consists of two 15-week semesters and students generally take two years to complete the program. All students must pass the prerequisite courses before proceeding to the next courses. Graduating students are enrolled in PROJ 335, a one-week practicum during the last week in March. The project for the practicum is supplied by the environmental industry.

The Exploration Information Technology program provides you with a broad understanding of Earth Sciences with specialized computing skills focusing on UNIX, database management and mapping applications. This program provides students computer skills geared towards the energy sector and numerous other industries.
YouR CAReeR
Graduates may find employment as a geological or geophysical technologist, applying your expertise in the areas of geological processing and interpretation, computer mapping of geographic variables, manipulation of geophysical data, integration of geological and geophysical data, and production of 3-D models for the reservoir. There is a growing market for digital information experts to work as assistants to geologists and geophysicists as a starting position. Many technologists may start their career in large companies and then ultimately move to smaller companies, or choose to start their own operation. Technologists are typically entrepreneurial in nature and very practical in their knowledge base.
