History
CEAMS was founded in the fall of 2005 by a small group of Energy Asset Management (EAM) professionals who saw the future (from both operational and human resource perspectives) and decided immediate action was required.
The emerging issues of retiring baby boomers and dramatically increased regulatory pressures are together exponentially increasing the need for well trained people.
The genesis of CEAMS can be found in the CAPLA Education Plan, which was itself undertaken due to the lack of proper post-secondary education in Land Administration. When the plan was put before industry, they suggested it needed to be broader than just Land Administration to become truly applicable and beneficial to industry as a whole. Hence, the Centre for Energy Asset Management Studies and the Energy Asset Management post-secondary education program.
After an extensive search for an education partner, the Institution Selection Committee of the CEAMS Board selected SAIT Polytechnic as the institution best suited and most qualified to develop and deliver the envisioned EAM program.
