About this award

Training is provided at no cost to eligible Albertans. While the tuition is covered, financial assistance to help with your living costs while you are in training may also be available depending on your specific circumstances — contact Government of Alberta, Jobs, Economy, Trade and Immigration to confirm the amount of support you can receive. This is for you if you are an adult in Alberta who is currently unemployed or under-employed and needs to build the skills, knowledge, and behaviours required to meet local labour market demand. No deadline is posted. Each Integrated Training program is developed by a different organization, with its own timeframes, so ask an organization near you when its next program starts. To find out whether you are eligible, connect with an organization near you that offers this program. You can find one in the Employment and Training Services Directory.

Who qualifies

You must be an unemployed or under-employed adult living in Alberta. You must also be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident. To participate, you must commit to full-time training to obtain and maintain employment.

Tips for applying

• SupportAvoid applying in isolation. Instead, connect with a local organization that delivers this program to help you determine your eligibility and navigate the process. Search the Employment and Training Services Directory to find a nearby office.
• StrategyAvoid treating this as a generic course. Instead, focus on the specific occupation-related skills and work experience that match the current local labour market demand in your area. Research which industries in Alberta are currently hiring.
• RealismAvoid assuming all programs are identical. Instead, remember that different organizations develop these programs, meaning the timeframes, class sizes, and course content will vary. Compare a few different options before committing to one.
