TechBOOST Program Deadline Approaching | Technology Alberta

The deadline for applications to the Technology Alberta TechBOOST program is fast approaching. This initiative is designed to foster the growth of tech-based Small-to-Medium-sized businesses (SMB) in Alberta. Ensure your application is submitted on time to take advantage of this valuable opportunity.

TechBOOST (Technology Business, Optimization, Operations, Scaleup, and Talent) is a pan-Albertan initiative fostering the growth of tech-based Small-to-Medium-sized businesses (SMB). Access the talent, knowledge, and community you need to continue scaling your technology business - with support to build your in-house HR capacity, work-integrated learning (WIL) subsidies, and strategic networking.

The Technology Alberta TechBOOST program is comprised of two components:

  1. TechHRCatalyst: An HR Program created specifically to build your in-house HR capacity, teaching your team to be self-sufficient.

  2. FIRST Jobs: A work-integrated learning (WIL) program that allows Alberta tech SMBs to hire an Alberta post-secondary student/recent graduate for a 200-hour work term (50% subsidized - 40 available positions).

If approved, qualifying companies will be contacted by email with additional information. In an effort to provide support to as many companies as possible, priority will be given to those companies that have not previously participated in the FIRST Jobs WIL Program.

Technology Alberta's TechBOOST program is supported by the Ecosystem Development Program Partnership Initiative by Alberta Innovates, PrairiesCan, and the Government of Alberta.

Deadline: August 21, 2024
