CALGARY — Workers in sectors facing global tariff pressures will receive support to help them adapt, retrain and seize new opportunities as a result of a partnership agreement announced by federal Minister Eleanor Olszewski (on behalf of the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs), and Joseph Schow, Alberta’s Minister of Jobs, Economy, Trade and Immigration. Specifically, $68.5 million over three years will be invested through the new Canada–Alberta Workforce Tariff Response to support workers and employers in the steel and softwood lumber sectors, as well as other directly and indirectly tariff-affected sectors. This new funding will help more than 7,800 workers in Alberta build new skills and transition into the in-demand jobs being created by Alberta’s strong economic growth and significant major project demand.
