Nutrien’s Generous Contribution
In a groundbreaking move set to redefine the educational landscape in Saskatchewan, Nutrien has announced a remarkable $11 million donation to the Saskatchewan Polytechnic (Sask Polytech) School of Mining. This significant contribution is not just about erecting a new campus space; it represents the construction of a launchpad for the leaders of tomorrow. Dr. Larry Rosia, CEO of Sask Polytech, aptly described the impact of this generous gesture as pivotal.
Building Future Leaders
The connection between Nutrien and Sask Polytech has been a stalwart partnership that has endured and flourished over four decades. This alliance has become a linchpin in Saskatchewan’s economy. Nutrien’s foresight in gifting $11 million to Sask Polytech’s Time to Rise campaign will directly facilitate the development of the new Saskatoon campus.
Cultivating Workforce of Tomorrow
Besides facilitating the construction of the new campus, this investment will fortify Sask Polytech’s collaboration with Nutrien, ensuring the training of a skilled workforce for the future. Currently, nearly 300 of Nutrien’s employees are graduates of Sask Polytech, dispersed across various Nutrien sites in Saskatchewan.
Modernizing Learning and Research
The upcoming Saskatoon campus is poised to revolutionize the existing decentralized and antiquated infrastructure into a modern, tech-savvy learning environment. This transformation will not only benefit students by providing state-of-the-art facilities but also open doors to enhanced opportunities for applied research and investment.
