Enhancing economic outcomes for Albertans through data-driven insights.

The Alberta Chambers of Commerce (ACC) is actively leading the transformative Hire by Referral project, aligning with our commitment to support Alberta’s business community. Representing a network of 100+ local chambers and over 20,000 businesses, our primary focus is to enhance successful hiring and retention practices for diverse job seekers.

Dedicated to supporting Albertans in the labour market, the Hire by Referral project addresses workforce shortages and aims to facilitate the attachment of income-supported Albertans to the labour market. Our strategic initiative empowers businesses, especially SMEs, to overcome workforce shortages and enhances decision-making among labour market stakeholders.

Leveraging cutting-edge software, the project sustains these objectives, facilitating immediate labour market attachment and building long-term capacity in the local chamber network. We emphasize the collection and dissemination of high-quality labour market information (LMI) and participant feedback, ensuring our efforts are informed by real-time data, contributing to project success and broader objectives.

The ACC, through the focused implementation of the Hire by Referral project, serves as a catalyst for positive change in the labour market, creating tangible opportunities for income-supported Albertans to secure meaningful employment.
