Alberta is committed to supporting employers in attracting, recruiting and retaining the workers they need by providing information and resources about accessing labour pools within Alberta, across Canada and around the world. Help for employers to identify and meet labour requirements can be found on the Alberta workforce contacts and employer resources webpage.
