Alberta Works is the provincial program that provides employment services and income support to Albertans who are unemployed or underemployed. The program helps people find jobs through career counselling, resume assistance, job search support, and skills training. For those who cannot find work or cannot work, Alberta Works provides financial assistance to cover basic needs like food, shelter, and utilities. The program includes different streams for people expected to return to work soon versus those with barriers requiring longer-term support. Alberta Works serves as a safety net while helping people achieve financial independence.
