The Government of Saskatchewan provides the services, programs and supports the people of Saskatchewan need. We deliver on the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth to build a strong economy, strong communities and strong families, ultimately building a stronger Saskatchewan. Dedicated to service excellence, we demonstrate innovation, collaboration and transparency, practice effective and accountable use of resources and promote engagement and leadership at all levels. The Ministry of Advanced Education is responsible for developing a skilled and educated workforce that meets the needs of Saskatchewan's labour market. The ministry works with the private sector, post-secondary education institutions and community organizations to develop, retain and attract skilled workers. We also work with educational institutions to recruit and retain international students and assist First Nations and Métis learners.

The ministry provides financial assistance to over 23,000 Saskatchewan post-secondary students each year through student loans, grants and numerous scholarships and bursaries and supports the Graduate Retention Program.
