In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and working towards the
province's economic recovery, the Alberta Government introduced
the Jobs Now program providing up to $370 million to help private
and non-profit businesses with job supports to get Albertans back
to work and help businesses reopen or grow their workforce.
Employers can apply for funding to offset the cost of hiring and
training unemployed or underemployed Albertans in new or vacant
positions.
Funding Options
Private sector businesses and non-profit organizations across
all industries can apply for funding to reduce the costs of hiring
and training unemployed or underemployed Albertans. When hiring
persons with disabilities, an employer will receive 1.5 times the
amount of funding.
