The future of Alberta’s workforce is evolving — and so is the conversation around talent, opportunity, and inclusion.
This year’s theme, “Pathways to Progress: Unlocking Potential for Employers & Newcomers,” reflects the moment we are in. Across Alberta, employers are navigating workforce shortages and shifting economic conditions, while internationally trained professionals bring valuable global expertise ready to contribute.
