Looking for work, exploring training opportunities, or figuring out your next step can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when there are many different programs and resources available and it is not always clear where to begin.
Alberta Employment Connect creates one clear place to start.
We help connect job seekers to the employment services, supports, and community resources that best align with their goals, needs, and situation.
We believe better outcomes happen when organizations work together to support job seekers in a coordinated and connected way.
At Alberta Employment Connect, we are the first point of contact for job seekers accessing employment services through referrals from the Government of Alberta.
Our role is to understand each job seeker’s situation and help guide them to the right services and supports based on their goals, needs, and location.
Employment Services Providers and community organizations deliver support directly, and we help ensure job seekers are connected to the provider or support that best aligns with their situation, so they are not left trying to figure out where to go next.
We do not deliver employment services directly. Our role is to help guide job seekers to the right services and supports while supporting coordinated access across the network.
1. Referral
Job seekers enter Alberta Employment Connect through referrals from the Government of Alberta.
2. Connect & Identify Needs
We connect with job seekers to better understand their goals, needs, barriers, and circumstances, and help identify the employment services and supports that best align with their situation.
3. Referral to Services & Supports
Based on each job seeker’s needs, we help connect them to the appropriate Employment Services Provider, wraparound supports, and community resources.
4. Ongoing Support
Employment Services Providers and community organizations deliver services and ongoing support to help job seekers move toward their goals.
Support looks different depending on where you live.
Whether you are accessing services in Edmonton or in northern Alberta and rural communities, Alberta Employment Connect helps connect you to the employment services and supports available in your region.
Alberta Employment Connect acknowledges that our work takes place on the traditional and ancestral territories of many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples across Alberta, including Treaty 6 and Treaty 8 Territories.
We recognize and honour the Indigenous Peoples who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial and whose cultures, histories, and contributions continue to shape the communities we serve today.
As we support job seekers across Edmonton and surrounding communities, as well as northern smaller urban and rural communities, we are committed to listening, learning, building respectful relationships, and supporting reconciliation through our work, partnerships, and actions.
