On Tuesday, we had the pleasure of hosting a press conference announcing the Government of Alberta's $15 million expansion of the Transition to Employment Services program. This provincial workforce development initiative supports unemployed individuals seeking employment opportunities. (Listen to the recording of the announcement on SoundCloud)
These employment support programs are intended for people who are currently unemployed and require assistance to make connections with potential employers. The programs also help participants further develop their soft skills and technical skills through structured training modules.
The Bredin Centre for Learning is a local provider of these employment transition programs in Alberta.
We are a proud employer partner of Bredin Centre for Learning. We have seen firsthand how important and effective these employment transition programs are in providing diversified methods of attracting quality employees to our organization.
In partnership with Bredin Centre for Learning, we have proudly hired over 70 people from this employment transition program since 2015. Four of these program graduates are integral members of our management structure today.
We are looking forward to seeing how the program's provincial expansion will provide individuals in current and new partner communities across Alberta with the employment supports they need. These supports will help participants be successful in Alberta's competitive labour market.
