The Government of Alberta announced Tuesday it means to “transform” employment services in the province through a $185 million investment.

WorkFirst Alberta will help job seekers find meaningful work and support employers to build a skilled workforce, said Jason Nixon, minister of assisted living and social services, at the WorkFirst Alberta Summit in Red Deer.

“WorkFirst is about transforming lives. It will help job seekers become employees, support employers in finding the right talent and empower the dedicated service providers who make these connections possible,” Nixon stated.

The government says WorkFirst will expand supports for persons with disabilities, women, youth and other Albertans facing barriers through flexible, person-centred services focused on long-term success.
