Other responsibilities with this portfolio include but are not limited to, government and Crown reporting requirements; domestic and international government, stakeholder and partner relations and development; and the development and execution of ABIE’s strategic plan, along with supporting the international education activities and strategies of the Government of Alberta and advancing the internationalization efforts of Alberta’s diverse education sector.
