What is the Canada-Alberta Job Grant?

The Canada-Alberta Job Grant is an employer-driven training program where employers use a third-party training provider like X5 Management to deliver formal training to new or existing employees. The grant provides businesses with the opportunity to provide training for their employees to enhance their skills to help drive optimal results for their employer. Using the Canada Alberta Job Grant to invest in training your employees is a smart and cost-effective way to bring out the very best in your team and take your business to the next level.

What is the training format?

We use a combination of half and full day on-site or virtual workshops. The programs are a minimum of 21 hours total and typically delivered over 3-6 months.

The following is a sample calculation for the Canada-Alberta Job Grant application based on our Enhancing Essential Skills Training Program with 10 trainees:

COURSE 1:

Understand Your Everything DiSC® Workplace – $430.00 x 10 trainees = $4,300.00

COURSE 2:

Everything DiSC® Productive Conflict – $495.00 x 10 trainees = $4,950.00

COURSE 3:

Everything DiSC® Agile EQ – $550.00 x 10 trainees = $5,500.00

COURSE 4:

The Five Behaviors™ Personal Development – $550.00 x 10 trainees = $5,500.00

COURSE 5:

Remarkable Service – $430.00 x 10 trainees = $4,300.00

You pay X5 Management half of this cost at commencement of training and the balance over 1-2 additional payments for the training program.
