CALGARY As thousands of Alberta students get set to graduate from post-secondary institutions in just a few months, many are worried about the prospect of obtaining work in the province where they grew up. Mohammad Ali is among a vast group of long-time Calgarians with big dreams to work in Alberta’s energy sector. The graduate of Sir Winston Churchill High school enrolled at the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business hoping his supply chain management degree would be a strong stepping-stone to working close to home, but that’s not the case.
