Let the Alberta Jobs Now Program help your business recover.

Applications are being accepted now. The application deadline for the first Alberta Jobs Now Program intake is August 31, 2021. 

All Alberta Jobs Now Program applications must be submitted via the Alberta Jobs Now Program Portal.

This online application is an easy and efficient way for employers to apply to Alberta Jobs Now Program.
