Alberta Youth Employment Incentive

none

Value

up to $7,500

Description

The Alberta Youth Employment Incentive makes it easier – and more rewarding – for employers to bring young talent into their business. Qualified employers can receive up to $7,500 to hire Albertans aged 15 to 24, helping you fill workforce needs today while investing in the skilled workforce of tomorrow.

This program is funded by the Government of Alberta and administered by CAREERS: The Next Generation, a non-profit with nearly 30 years of experience connecting youth and employers across the province.

Eligible Applicants

Eligible employers must have been operating in Alberta for at least one year and be one of the following:

  • A registered for-profit business
  • A registered non-profit organization
  • A First Nations or Métis settlement

Hired youth must:

  • Be an Alberta resident and Canadian citizen or PR
  • Be between 15-24 years of age at the start of employment
  • Not be working with the same employer applicant and/or in the same position at the time of and prior to the employer applying for the incentive

Eligible Expenses

Hiring youth isn’t just an investment in the next generation—it’s a smart move for your business and Alberta’s future. Young employees bring fresh perspectives, new skills, and the drive to make an impact.

What youth bring to your workplace:

  • Innovation & Creativity – fresh ideas that spark growth
  • Adaptability – quick to learn, flexible in changing environments
  • Tech Savviness – digital skills that keep your business current
  • Energy & Motivation – enthusiasm that lifts teams and productivity

What your business gains long term:

  • Future Workforce Development – build a pipeline of skilled, job-ready workers
  • Talent Attraction & Retention – hiring youth strengthens your reputation as a forward-thinking employer and can reduce turnover

Investing in youth means investing in your organization’s success—and in a stronger Alberta
