School of Manufacturing and Automation
As one of SAIT’s founding schools, we’ve provided hands-on training and development for more than 100 years, preparing students for rewarding careers in oil and gas, transportation, manufacturing, and automation.
Our programs are developed with consultation from industry representatives, emphasizing hands-on skills and tech-infused learning. Whether you choose pre-employment trades, non-destructive testing foundations, mechanical engineering, or any of our other programs, our curriculums keep up to date to meet evolving industry demands, ensuring you are job-ready the moment you graduate.
There’s no better place for you to get career-ready than with our trades and technology programs #HereAtSAIT.
I really value my time at SAIT. The small class sizes, the relationships with the instructors and the hands-on learning where you do the work means everything you learn in the classroom applies to the real world.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
