Episode Details

Albertas Youth Employment Incentive program receives a boost, offering $20 million over three years to support employers in training and hiring young workers. The program, which launched last year, aims to help 8,750 young people find jobs. Employers at a new Edmonton deli praise the program for keeping their teenage staff on board after relocating from wildfire-hit Jasper. Experts attribute the tough job market to fast population growth, tech replacing entry-level roles, and temporary foreign worker issues. Career advisors emphasize the importance of networking and building connections beyond education. As job numbers begin to improve, these investments signal a push to connect more young talent with opportunities and stabilize the job market.
