Technology Alberta, Alberta’s grass-roots industry association which supports the growth of entrepreneurial advanced technology companies through community and raising visibility, has just launched the ‘Technology Alberta FIRST (First Industry Research Science and Technology companies) Job Program. Supported by the Government of Canada through Western Economic Diversification’s Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF) – this program has matched 50 Alberta Technology companies with local Alberta Post-Secondary educated Youth (ages 29 and under) Talent. Youth participants are from across the province, ranging from business students to machine learning graduates.
The Technology Alberta FIRST Jobs Program has multiple goals including retaining Talent in Alberta, and growing these amazing companies. Alberta’s universities and technical institutes are producing outstanding grads and we want to keep them in this province… but they need to know about the companies that exist here and be excited about the technology being created here.
Which is why each week over the next three months we will be showcasing the companies that are taking part in this program. This way, not only are these 50 Young Professionals being introduced to these cool companies - but so is the wider Alberta community.
This week our showcase is focused on technology solutions for Advisory Services, Education and Public Awareness:

Discover Coding provides programs for children that guides them through the fundamentals of computer, game design and coding.

Offering programs for all ages and covering basic code, digital basics and even python courses, they are teaching the next group of engineers!
Alberta WaterPortal Society might not initially make Albertans think of technology.

By incorporating online quizzes, animated video series and most recently online games, technology is helping them to increase their reach, and improve water usage and quality for Alberta.
