"We're not left behind. NAIT will help us get there, whether it be digital literacy or bringing in technology by using their labs or bringing their labs out. For them to be able to do that and extend that and build those partnerships is terrific.
It's really helping at all different angles, and the fact that they can help us cater a curriculum to our needs is so important because unfortunately we don't have a great history with education and that can sometimes be an obstacle for us. But I think times are changing and we can do things together and it can work out with positive outcomes."
