Heartland 101

Are you looking to kickstart your career or transition into Alberta’s thriving industrial sector? Mark your calendar for the inaugural Industrial Heartland Career Forum (IHCF) on Thursday, January 30 at the Dow Centennial Centre in Fort Saskatchewan.

This free event is designed for students, professionals, educational institutions, and industry leaders in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland (AIH) to engage and connect. Unlike a job fair, this is an exciting chance to explore career opportunities and gain awareness of the training and resources available to help you land your dream job in AIH — Canada’s largest energy hub!

What to Expect

The IHCF is divided into two tailored sessions:

1. Student Session (Grade 11 and 12): Learn about diverse career opportunities and educational pathways, connect with industry professionals, post-secondary institutions, and career support services.

• Registration for the student session is
  facilitated directly through schools in the Heartland region.

2. Re-Skill Session (Professionals): Gain insights
into emerging industry trends, skill development, and career transition strategies to help you find your place in Alberta’s dynamic industrial landscape.

• This session is free but requires registration;
  register here.

Both sessions include access to the exhibition area, speaker presentations, networking opportunities, and resources to support your journey. Whether you’re a high school student exploring educational pathways or a professional looking to re-skill, the IHCF offers valuable insights and resources to help you achieve your career goals.

This event is a partnership between the City of Fort Saskatchewan, Lamont County, Strathcona County, Sturgeon County, and Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association (AIHA). Don’t miss this chance to explore the opportunities in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland at the IHCF!
