Program Streams

Employers selected to participate in the Workplace Training Program must be able to provide valuable on-the-job learning or facilitate meaningful work experience, with the potential for continued employment once the training contract concludes. The program includes two options:

1. On-the-Job Training

• Training takes place at your worksite

• You commit to hiring and training an individual for a period of 8 to 16 weeks

• Prospect provides a training contribution for the full duration of the learning plan

• Ideal for building specific skills and preparing participants for long-term employment with your team

2. Paid Work Experience

• Short-term placement of up to 3 weeks

• Designed to help Albertans enter the workforce quickly

• Participants are introduced to real job duties, workplace expectations, and safe work practices

• An opportunity for both parties to assess fit before a longer-term hire

How It Works

You bring the opportunity, and Prospect supports the process. We:

• Pre-screen and assess participants for job readiness

• Provide ongoing support during the placement

• Handle administrative tasks and reporting

• Work with you to ensure a smooth onboarding and training experience

Our Candidates

Workplace Training participants are unemployed or underemployed Albertans (working fewer than 20 hours per week) who are actively working to re-enter the labour market. Many have previous experience or transferable skills and are motivated to make a strong impression in their new role.

Prospect’s Transition to Employment Services provides each participant with access to:

• Career assessments and planning

• Resume and job application support

• Funded short courses (if eligible)

• Interview and workplace preparation

• Ongoing employment retention follow-up

This comprehensive approach ensures your new hires are supported and ready to contribute.
