Let the Alberta Jobs Now Program help your business recover.

Alberta’s government is committed to helping businesses recover from the impacts of COVID-19 and the economic recession. As part of Alberta’s Recovery Plan, businesses have an opportunity to give their workforce a boost by hiring new employees. 

The Alberta Jobs Now Program provides funding for eligible employers to subsidize wages, fund training or a combination of both, for new hires. If your organization is eligible, the Alberta Jobs Now Program offers a wage subsidy or training subsidy of 25%, up to $25,000 for each employee, for up to 20 full time new hires.

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.

For details, check the application guidelines and access the Alberta Jobs Now Program Portal at alberta.ca/jobsnow.

During the session, you will learn about:

  • Employer eligibility
  • Types of new hires that qualify
  •  How much funding you can receive
  • Application and grant payment processes

A live Q&A will follow the presentation.

Session dates:
