The Ministry Services Division provides enterprise-wide support services for Energy and Minerals and ensures alignment with and adherence to related Government of Alberta-wide policy and direction.

The Professional and Program Services (PPS) Branch provides scientific and technical services to Alberta Energy and Minerals (and other Departments at times) to facilitate the development of policy and delivery of programs in a strategic and integrated manner across the Government of Alberta.
