Construction industry employment growth
If you've decided that a career in the construction industry is something you want to try, your timing is perfect in Alberta. The economy is vibrant here and all projections say it's going to stay that way for several years to come. With a strong economy comes an increase in capital expenditure investment.

What does that mean to you?

A lot of businesses are going to start or grow. Buildings have to be built to house the businesses and the people who work in them. That means there's more work out there than ever, especially in the construction industry which now needs young and skilled workers to replace an aging workforce. If you are entering the workforce, this is very good news.
