Looking to find workers in Edmonton? The Strive 4 Work program connects employers to skilled, trained staff—helping to strengthen businesses and break down employment barriers. But there’s no opport_nity without u! Let’s work together.

Employing a graduate from Strive 4 Work is an opportunity to:

  • Address Staff Shortages
    Address staffing shortages by accessing a largely untapped workforce—individuals who are ready, willing, and able to work.

  • Grow Your Business
    At least 1 in 7 working age Albertans has a disability, mental health barrier, or medical condition. By employing a diverse workforce you’ll tap into this underserved market—which is significant, as people with disabilities (and their families) have billions of dollars in purchasing power.

  • Potentially Lower Your Costs
    Potentially lower hiring and training expenses through a 50% wage subsidy for the first 12 weeks of employment.

  • Strengthen Your Reputation
    Be seen as an inclusive business by employing a diverse workforce. Evidence shows that people are more likely to spend money at businesses that demonstrate diversity and inclusiveness.

  • Improve Retention
    Support employee retention—studies show that employees with disabilities have an 80% lower turnover rate compared to employees who don’t have a disability.

  • Get Additional Support
    Our team has decades of experience connecting skilled job seekers with businesses just like yours. We provide resources and support to assist with the onboarding of potential employees with disabilities into your workplace.
