In 2021, Lindisfarne Productions had the opportunity to produce new occupational videos for the Government of Alberta alis initiative.
For years, the alis.alberta.ca website has been assisting Albertans in finding careers that suit their skills, personalities, and life goals by offering practical information on over 575 occupations. Each occupational profile provides information like educational requirements, salary ranges, day to day duties, responsibilities, and working conditions.
For this year’s videos we filmed across the province. Every year we get to speak to unique and interesting Albertans and learn about exciting and innovative careers. This year was no different!
Some of the occupations we covered this year include:
Biotechnologist Occupational Video
Biotechnologists apply their knowledge of biochemistry, microbiology, and molecular genetics to improve industrial processes. We spoke with Michael, a biotechnologist in Edmonton to find out more about this science-based career!
Physiologist Occupational Video
Physiologists are scientists who study the whole organism and cellular function in humans, animals, and plants. We spoke with Shereen, a physiologist and researcher at the University of Alberta, about what it takes to become a physiologist.
