• Learn about Alberta Works
The goal of Alberta Works is to help unemployed people find and keep jobs in their communities, help low-income Albertans cover their basic costs of living, and help employers meet their need for skilled workers. Alberta Works brings together employment and training services, income support, health benefits and child support services to better help Albertans. Adults with a permanent disability that severely impairs their ability to earn a livelihood may be eligible to receive assistance through a separate program called Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH). Different people have different needs. That's why Alberta Works includes a number of different ways to help.
