The Northeast Alberta Collegiate Institute (NACI) is a collaborative initiative between Conseil scolaire Centre-Est, Lakeland Catholic School Division, Northern Lights Public Schools, Portage College, and St. Paul Education. Supported by Alberta Education, NACI offers specialized programming designed to help high school students explore and pursue careers in health care, education, and the trades. Through a combination of asynchronous online learning, and hands-on training opportunities for the trades pathway, students in Grades 11 and 12 can earn both high school and post-secondary credits—building clear pathways to further education and in-demand careers, all while still in high school. NACI is committed to expanding opportunities for students while strengthening workforce capacity across the region.
