Why Invest?

When you become a CAREERS investor, you support the development of youth and the future of industry in your community. 

CAREERS programs support career exploration for young people in health services, trades and technologies. Students in our programs often go on to become valuable apprentices or specialists in their communities, keeping skilled workers in Alberta and offsetting labour shortages. 

With Alberta’s economy growing, trades, industrial technologies and health employers are starting to feel the effects of forecasted skilled worker shortages. We help communities develop their biggest resource to combat skills shortages – their youth. It has never been more important to prepare for Alberta’s future workforce needs.

There’s a reason we don’t call our supporters “donors”. When you choose to support CAREERS, you’re investing in Alberta’s future. Your donation helps: 

• students find meaningful employment and learn about the working world
• lower unemployment rates among Aboriginal peoples through youth outreach
• industry hire new skilled workers starting their careers and build business certainty 
• schools encourage youth to achieve in school and out
• communities invest in projects which require skilled workers 

When you support CAREERS, you’re not just giving money to an organization, you’re helping build strong, vibrant Alberta communities where youth stay to live, work and become leaders. Isn’t that the kind of province you’d like to live in?
