Energy Production 20 will be available to all Saskatchewan high school students beginning in September of the 2026-27 school year, with the intent of providing the opportunity to explore careers in one of the province’s most evolving sectors.
“Sask DLC is uniquely positioned to be able to deliver specialized courses – like Energy Production 20 – that support the Kindergarten-to-Career education experience,” Minister Responsible for Sask DLC Everett Hindley said. “The development of this course will help prepare students to make informed decisions about the post-secondary education, training and employment they may need to pursue a career in the energy production sector.”
Energy Production 20 is designed for students interested in learning how energy is generated, distributed and managed in today’s economy. The course provides a broad overview of current energy production in Saskatchewan, including coal-fired electricity, oil and gas exploration and renewable energy production. Students will also learn about emerging energy production sources, including nuclear power.
Students will learn about the science, technology, safety and environmental considerations associated with each energy source, while exploring the range of career pathways. The new course is a result of the government’s Saskatchewan First Energy Security Strategy and Supply Plan released in Fall 2025.
