Olds College shares its expertise with Mongolia
Olds College of Agriculture and Technology is collaborating internationally to help Mongolia reform its technical and vocational education and training (TVET). Delegates spent two weeks in May working with Mongolia’s Ministry of Education on a project named SkillShift-01, part of a five-year effort supported by Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) and the College of the North Atlantic (CNA) under Global Affairs Canada.
What is happening
The SkillShift-01 project aims to reform TVET in Mongolia. A five-year initiative brings together Canadian colleges and institutions to share curricula, teaching methods, and program design to improve skills training for Mongolian students. Olds College and CNA participated in the May activities alongside Mongolia’s Ministry of Education to align programs with labor market needs.
Who is affected
Mongolian students and future workers in technical fields stand to benefit from updated curricula and teaching approaches. Mongolian educators and administrators coordinating TVET reforms are directly involved, with Canadian partners helping implement changes through training and resource sharing.
Practical next steps
Continued collaboration over the five-year project is expected, including further training for Mongolian teachers, development of new or updated TVET programs, and sharing Canadian best practices in curriculum design and industry alignment. Stakeholders should look for official updates from Mongolia’s Ministry of Education or CICan for milestones and available resources for educators and institutions.
Limits and questions
The available material confirms a bilateral educational collaboration under a Canadian-led program. It does not specify budget figures, timelines beyond a five-year frame, or direct student-level impact metrics. For deeper understanding, readers may seek official statements from CICan, the College of the North Atlantic, or Mongolia’s Ministry of Education to verify scope and outcomes of SkillShift-01.
