CAREERS helps connect Alberta’s employers with a future skilled workforce that is young, motivated, and better prepared.
As an employer, you will see many benefits from hiring a student intern or apprentice through CAREERS’ programs. We help you find committed students who are the best fit for your workplace. You will have access a future talent pool and an opportunity to help strengthen school programs, all of which will help you become an employer of choice and a strong community builder.
Our programs can benefit you in other ways by:
- promoting your industry as a career field of choice to junior and senior high school students
- facilitating the screening and interview process for hiring students
- identifying indenture opportunities sooner with potential employees
- allowing flexible work schedules and part-time apprenticing in trades programs
- assisting with labour shortages in Alberta
Ninety-three percent of employers who participated in CAREERS’ programs would recommend them to other employers.
