New Workforce Partnerships get Albertans back to work

Alberta’s government is funding projects that give Albertans the tools to find good jobs and employers the skilled workers they need.

A $1.53-million investment under the Workforce Partnerships program will support 16 projects that will spur economic growth and diversification and build a skilled and diverse workforce.

These projects will give Albertans a range of job opportunities across several sectors, including biotechnology, commercial trucking, energy, aviation, forestry and retail.

Albertans from all walks of life are encouraged to develop new skills, as projects will focus on hiring more women, newcomers, Indigenous peoples, mature workers, youth and people living with a disability.

Projects will begin no later than March 31, with terms ranging from one year to a maximum of two years. Alberta is working with the federal government to provide this funding and deliver employment support programs and services across the province.
