Alberta Jobs Now Grant
Alberta Jobs Now Grant Info
The Alberta jobs now program is designed to make it more affordable for companies to hire and train new employees so they either re open or expand their business as the Alberta economy recovers. This will reduce hiring and training costs to create more jobs now.
All eligible employers can use this grant to help subsidize wages, or training, or both. 50 % of the funding will be received right after the new hire has started working and the other half will come after confirmation that the new hire has completed their 52 weeks of employment.
If you are an employer eligible for this grant, you can apply until August 31, 2021 for the first intake. the second will open September 15. 2021 and will close on December 31, 2021. the third will be announced later.
